Wife's Longboard

Thanks for the help/responses on fin help for wife's longboard. I didn't know those flex fins were a thing until then - unfortunately we swung by a sirf shop that day and grabbed a generic profile one for her. See how it goes and pick up one recommended if needed.

Anyway here it is all done. This was my first foam shaping experience - only wooden hollow boards with purchased plans. This one I designed on BoardCAD and shaped on a 9'3"Y US Blank. It's 8'8" x 23 x 2 7/8 with a tri-plane bottom. Really enjoyed the shaping process and had fun with the wife glassing it. She did the color work - turned out more pink than she wanted up top - was going for peach. Funny as when mixed it was very peach and under my shaping room lights it is peach, but as soon as it hits outdoor lighting it goes pink. Perhaps because I used RR CE with the blue hue?

Oh forgot... it's been curing for a few days now and the top and bottom have developed a milky appearance. Is that blush? I've never had a blushing epoxy but have read about it... Does Resin Research blush then? Thanks... going to get in the archives to see how to clean it off
