Aloha folks out there in swayland....
It's been a long time since I've shaped a board but the time has come and I'm stoked to get back in the bay and hopefully create some riding craft for my son and I....
My first board build is going to be for him...
He's 10, 4'8" and about 75lbs...
I saw some templates online, kind of like a wide short board/fish design with a swallow tail and was leaning in that direction...
Let me just say he's a novice but learning fast....he learned on an 8'0 soft top and has been trying different boards lately....
I was thinking perhaps around a 6'0 board....something he'll be able to grow into...
I was also thinking between 17-18" wide and about 2 1/4" thick...
All these are general numbers I came up with but I'm actually looking for suggestions from guys in the know..
I've done abit research......that's why I'm here....
If you have any questions....fire away...
Mahalo for your time..
