So it started with shaping a 5'5 Mini Simmons , and after have a blast on that board I decided to push it to the microscopic level. This board is going to be 4'8 x 23ish x 2 10/16. It was originally going to just be a standard poly board, but I came across a massive EPS buoy while in Big Bear so I decided to give rail wrapping a go. There's so much I need to learn with shaping that I try to get as much experience as I can on every board, hence the "unneeded" labor that went into the board. I've heard a lot about putting wood rails on boards to add weight, and to really drop a rail. So naturally I did the opposite...lighter EPS rails. Worthless maybe, but the idea of lighter rails coupled with a Simmons worked in my head, and that was good enough to start hackin'.
