I'm going to post up some pictures from my first wakesurf board build. After months of research and gathering the needed tools and supplies I finally started my build a couple weeks ago. For my first build, I think its going pretty well. I'd really like to thank Shawn at Brigade & Brock at Doomswell. Both those guys were super helpful when I approached them for advice.
To keep cost down I decided to buy a block of 2lb density foam from a local foam supplier and buy my own hotwire foam cutter to cut the foam. The foam cutter cost me about what it would cost get one or two blanks shipped to Wisconsin from one of the blank retailers.
After cutting the foam, I cut a cedar stringer and glued it into the blank.
Next, I traced the outline from the template I made onto the foam.
Cut the outline.
Square the rails with Greenlight's rail runner tool.
Lots of work with the Grasp, hand plane and sanding.
The rocker profile is all set and the rail bands are ready to be cut.
Marked the rail bands.
Cut the first rail band.
