forgot to be taking photos of it along the way, but basically, i bought three 6"wide 8' long 1" thick pine boards and glued and clamped them together, then cut it down to 7' long and 3/4" thick and then cut the shape, contours, and rails into the board. yea, quick description, sorry. here it is though. it's going to be really hard, I think. I've gotten four coats of spar varnish on it, so i think it's ready to take out on Saturday! hopefully the waves are alright for it.
the big guy! psyched to try it out, and will probably be humbled completely
bottom side. with the shine, you can see the contour running down the middle, from the tail up 2/3 of the way to the nose, about 1/4 deep. basically the same as my first 4 footer i did. this helps it from slipping out super easy, since it has no fins

Board looks great! I can't wait to find out if you can stand up on it or not
