Building my First Surfboard and a Greater Connection to the Wave

A block of foam turns into the complete Retro Fish I've always dreamed of having. The process and work along the way to become one with the waves. There's a connection I've been told, only comes with having a board you've made yourself. This is my journey. The steps along the way, and the finished result.
This was no easy task but I've learned a thing or two. Perfection is not always perfect, but being proud of what you've done makes all the difference.
I hope you enjoy this process as much as I did and we thank you greatly for watching along. This here, is the first board..but there will be many more to come. It's something that I believe everyone should experience if you have the time and patience. IT's gratifying and fulfilling to know that the next wave will be rode on something created from my own hands.

The true design of this board falls into my own thoughts and knowledge of what i feel, will be perfect for those west coast, fresh coast, swells.

Thank You.
