It is taking shape...

Jon Ashton, 35yr veteran shaper of our local shorepound wars is gradually coming over to the twin evils of Foil and SUP.  He has hip damage left from a joint replacement which leaves him 'more time to work'. This will be about #5 foil board for him.  I first need a board with high initial stability and soft contact points; it was one of the reasons inflatos seemed really attractive.  This is ~6-3 x 31.  It should be done soon.

Sweeet.  Wet, you are going to have blast on that thing.  It looks wide, lots of flat and stable.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing it taking shape.

Thanks, guys...  I am both nervous and excited.  I see this as a simple pass/fail test for me.  Luckily, I have had plenty of time to study and have a full bite-suit used for training vicous dogs. (not really)  ' Next step is mounting the foil to find the balance point for the 'under-handle' and placing all the inserts, etc.

This is great. Glad to see you coming to the dark side. I’m not regretting it so far. That board will do fine.
