Hey Guys, sorry for taking so long to give an update. I was waiting for parts, got busy and blah blah blah. Anyway I also made a board for my girlfriends birthday and so I'll throw the pics up while I'm finishing up my board. I am definitely building a rocker table for the next board. I also used We...

Hahaha, not really sure why I didn't think of that. That will likely be the route I go. Like you said, it's plywood.

Sweet, I may have to look online as teh local Bolt Supply doesn't carry them. Also waiting on fins and just ordered the pads and straps today.

Finally stained the board and it looks to be ready for either sealer and the mounts for the footpads and fins. I think I may want to epoxy the board yet in which case I assume that I'll need to place the mounts first. Any suggestions for a good mounting method for the footpads? I was thinking of usi...

Just pulled the board off the "rocker table" and it looks to have work quite well. There was a few spots where the veneer lifted but a little wood glue and some clamping took care of that. Going to give the glue 24 hours to set and the stain it tomorrow. I rounded the rails slightly with a power san...

I would think it would work. I've heard of some guys using irons to steam the board. Could be worth a try.

I did soak it down pretty good before placing it in the set-up. I guess I'll just have to see if it was enough.

Yeah it's quite a big board. I figure for starting out it will make things easier. I can always cut it down later or convert it into a table or wall hanging. Just set the rocker today so I'm going to leave it for a day or so and see how it turns out. The set-up is about 3cm of plywood underneath the...

Just by eyeballing I'm thinking 6 cm or so in from the heel edge. I think I am going to forgo the toe side fins for now as I don't see them getting much use. I've got the board cut and just did a couple test patches of stain. Just need to round the railes and set the rocker.

I'm now looking at fin location and can't seem to find much. I'm planning on the five fin set-up, two toe edge and three heel edge. Any advice on how far in to set the fins from the ends and rails?
