( 6’5 x 20” x 3” ) Single Fin. Any tips for shaping, I’ve taken it down to 3” thick in the thickest part and the tail is just above 1” not sure if I should go any thinner in the middle? Maybe to 2.5”? And for the rails should I just do soft?4yr ⋅ dudeeee111 ⋅ r/surfboardshaping

Board #16, Probably my best shape to date. Pretty happy with it. I learned I don’t like pin lines (don’t look too close haha) 5’7 x 20”x 2 1/2” love to hear your thoughts!4yr ⋅ Surfmoreworkless ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
5’7” twin keel fish I shaped. #15 for me. First time doing a full resin tint job and deck patch and leash loop. Learned some more lessons as always. Hand shaped start to finish and glassed myself. Any questions let me know!4yr ⋅ Surfmoreworkless ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
First board done! 9'6 log shaped by hand for a surfboard shaping class at my university.5yr ⋅ shannonsteele ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
Shaping my first board. Firstly, anyone got any tips on limiting styro mess. Secondly, does your foam need a silky smooth finish like you see on all the nice professional boards before they’re glasses?4yr ⋅ brodiebrusasco ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
No one on r/surfing really cared about my kneeboard. I was pretty gappy with how it came out, it was my first time doing flex rails and my first bonzer.5yr ⋅ surfskatevape ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
Glassed on a fin last night. This sub is dead 💀 let’s bring it back to life. Post the last surfboard shaping related photo in your library.5yr ⋅ A10110101Z ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
6’4 winged pin Bonzer 5 ready to be sent to the glasser. My 4th board I’ve made alone, hope it works.5yr ⋅ riceroni27 ⋅ r/surfboardshaping

(Update) 9’9” x 24 x 3 1/4 Finished my first board! Shortly after I finished sanding I took it out and it actually rides pretty well!5yr ⋅ jaimesumulong ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
First board. 5'8 x 21.5 x 2 3/4. Learnt a lot from this one, now to try again. Surfs like a log due to me not giving the rails near the tail a crisp enough edge (I think that's the cause anyway...).5yr ⋅ shard_bearer ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
So I’m attempting a mini Simmons ish kinda sorta board for my first shape. So far I’ve made a tonne of mistakes so I figured it was time to ask for some advice. I’ll post my questions in the comments cheers!5yr ⋅ joeeatsspaghetti ⋅ r/surfboardshaping

If you had 9'8Y with -.75in nose rocker and this fin.... what kind of longboard would you shape?5yr ⋅ naverif ⋅ r/surfboardshaping

Second board: 5’3” twin fin, shaping went a lot better this time around. Anyone know where to find best practice videos on glassing? My overlaps still aren’t very clean. All feedback is welcome!5yr ⋅ FUSurf ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
UPDATE on uneven template! Printed out another template and made sure it had correct dimensions. Used EZ square and made sure points were even on both sides. Squared rails.5yr ⋅ Maxswole ⋅ r/surfboardshaping
