I have started my new 10' longboard. I got deal on some cheap cedar, and its going to weigh around 22#, the same as my waterlogged 10' glass board..

Fins and finish board
Wow, what a project. i took the board out a few days ago in double overhead waves(BIG) and it surfed great... I made the front rails a bit hard, so I reshaped them rounder, but other than that, its a super board... I overbuilt the board and it comes in at 35#, heavy for sure, but it glides through the sections and surfs like a dream...

Glassing
I bought a off brand Dupont epoxy, very reasonable. about the same price as Poly. 2-6oz layers on top and one one the bottom.
Adding fins and hot coat next.
selling two of my favorite boards
I had to sell off two of my favorite boards to buy the wood for the next project a 10'2" noserider.. I doubt I will ever surf a board another board unless I made it..Its lots of work, but rewarding
cuts for nose and tail blocks
Very unnatural cutting into your board. As you can see I removed some material.
