Finally underway...

Fun fun fun.

Today I bought a 4" thick piece of EPS foam from B&Q for £20. That will be enough for two boards.
I also got a surform, a pack of sandpaper, and some timber for the stringer. Complete overkill but I decided to go for some half inch ply purely because I think it could look good in the board.

I've cut up my foam into strips about 12" wide.

I also cut the rocker and deck profile into the stringer roughed it up a bit and am about to glue it into the foam. Tomorrow during lunch I should be cutting out and gluing in another stringer into the rest of the foam (I'm making board #1 and #2 together) - then in the evening making a start on shaping the foam.


All being well I'll have these boards ready for a trip to France starting some time just after the 6th of August.


Photographs to follow as soon as I can find my camera.
