Day 25 - To router, or not to router

25 days of surf board making, and we are pumped with the results so far. As of last night, we have 2 boards completely ready for fins and glassing, and two more very close, with the last one needing a bit more TLC. I started my revised board design last night, after ditching my pinstripe idea, and went with red rails, which is turning out pretty cool so far! Hopefully we'll have some pictures of it tomorrow. Drew also salvaged his gun, and did a fantastic job on it. I'm not sure if we have pics of it yet or not, but he carefully cut out the damaged bit, cut a new piece of foam to fit, glued it in and weighted it, and then re-shaped the new rail to match. It looks fantastic, and it seemed to be a minimal amount of work for the amount of damage that was there. Good job Drew!

We also got down to the nitty gritty last night and cut our our first fin box in an actual board - Kat's board to be exact! Micah has done some great work with getting the jigs ready to make routing out the fin box holes as painless as possible, but we still have some tweaking to do before doing the rest of them. Having said that, the first one looks great, and it's awesome to see a fin box in one of the boards already!

We're really hoping to go at it all tonight with a vengeance, and have at least three, if not four of the boards ready to glass on Saturday. Pics to come!
