You guys are impressive.  I've been tinkering a little bit myself, but it's laughable how many mistakes/lessons one can make/learn on one board.  I've gotta ask openly for anyone shaping: how did your first board come out?  What were the biggest challenges and lessons learned?\n        \n\n\nClick to expand...\n\n\n\n\nMy first board actually turned out pretty well - a 7' something big-guy tri roughly based on a board that Bill Minard had built for me. Reasonably clean shape, acceptable glass job with an amlost buttery satin rub out. Rode well on a first trip down to Popotla and then a bunch of fun sessions. Thought I had something going.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow the second board... more wobbles in my lines, a couple of sand-throughs, mojo totally off. I think that board, and various others in the first hundred or so, challenged me with consistency and the need to have a go-to routine and then take into account various parameters such as temp, humidity, variable foam densities... I (slowly!) learned to take my time, to not rush a step, and (eventually) never think that I would fix a mistake in the next step and instead fix it as well as I could right there rather than amplifying it by waiting."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["158922"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.5936679990554694, "license": "Public Domain"}
