It didn't take too long but here it is, I started with a 3/4" thick 4x8' sheet of xps as my core. I decided since it was going to be my first board I was doing it on a budget and try to find all the supplies locally hence the xps. Anyways I decided to go 50" long and 21" wide just to be different no real reason. I then traced a hyperlite broadcast and used a sharpie to make it my own. I think the tail section really came into its own after a ton of sanding, then I wanted to make an aggressive rail for cutting fast and aggressive, all in all it took quite a bit of sanding to get it symmetrical. I then realized I forgot to put a nose on the board so I took some left over foam and glued it on top, once dried I tried to make a lift but I just didn't have enough material so I basically pressed on. Once I was as happy as I could be I mixed water based rustoleum paint and used an hvlp gun to lay it on the foam. I then used 2-6 oz. Layers of fiberglass cloth on top and bottom and sanded all the high spots down, finally I used the epoxy resin to lay a gloss coat and spread it out with a paint brush. Once it was dry I wetsanded and polished the board and applied the traction pad.
