My first build

My first official shaped board 5'6" x 20 3/4" x 2 1/8" fish, XPS foam, cloth inlay, epoxy, used sone 10oz cloth for some extra heft. Ready to glass on fins and take it out to test performance.

Got impatient and used pieced together fiber cloth instead of a whole piece for the deck and didnt sand out the seams fully, but hey the deck gets waxed so no big deal, it'll hide.

I gave it a super nice concave on the bottom to channel some water pressure to the tail reminescent of the RUSTY single concave venturi curve that i love on my heckler model, so i went chasing that. 

Secondly, i reshaped an old "GFORCE" 7' into this cool cloth inlay sorta fish sorta double round pin tail monstrosity shes 6'5" now. I'm dubbing her the coffee bean.(sorry abot the dust)

Thirdly, I figured my first fish would get lonely so I shaped her out a little sister. same cloth inlay just a different focus pattern, 5'3" x 20 1/2" x 2 1/2". A little smaller but a little fatter. have yet to glass currently I'm patching up foam and doing minor adjustments to the shape.

Any pointers are heavily appreciated. Everything has been done by feel alone except for the out line template. No other marks on the foam to follow totally freehand.
