After our success with Kat's board, we went full force into starting some of the other boards today. Drew got out his semi-gun, and I started on my hybrid. We spent a good chunk of the night sanding these boards down and getting the stringers flush. Once this was done, we started right into the rails. We measured 1/3 in from the stringer, and down however short we wanted our rails, and taped things off. Then, either with the hotwire (Drew), or the surform (Justin), we cut away that peice, leaving an angle on the board. Then we measure in another third, and up higher on the rails to cut another angle that we could blend everything in with. We left the front 20" and the rear 20" untouched, to blend by hand, as the front doesn't have much to give, and the rear rails are supposed to be boxier.
It was a complete success, and the final products looked awesome! We still have some blending to do and final sanding on these boards, but we're going to leave them and get the other boards to the same place first. Here's some pics from the day:
