Dang! That was quick! How much time did it take to shape?

Started at 7am. Finished at 3:30. It takes a long time doing it the old fashioned way.

What dims did you settle with?

Did you think about a more narrow tail to pick up some maneuverability on the wave face?

Are you going to use a mast track insert or a fixed insert?

Can't wait to see the finished product!!!

I'm using a mast track. I don't know of any sources for a single insert in the US.

The board is 11'3 x 29.75

I'm not doing a narrow tail on this one. These boards don't do ripping turns. For me, it's just a longboard cruiser and its real good at that. I might do Jacky's with a narrower tail.

I recently wind SUPed the Naish 11'4. It wants to get up a go better than the Amundson, even though the Naish has a lot more rocker. My guess is the Amundson rocker "curve" is hurting it. I'm using the Amundson total rocker numbers, but fixing the "curve".
