Good look'n!

was the nose rocker in the blank when you got it, or did you shape it in?
Want to build out of solid eps, just getting the rocker to lock in is tough...

I bought this blank, it was ship-able due to the two halvs, I left the wood stringer out and just did some fine tuning the rocker as I shaped it >> http://greenlightsurfsupply.com/collect ... 1052050195

Thanks Terrie
I wanted it to fit in a double twintip bag with the foil so settled on 4' 10" X 20" x 2 1/4" and weighs 7 1/2 pounds as shown

Very beatiful!

I'm considering building my own foil board for my new sword 2 tuttle. What did it all cost including all materials ?
