Today (Friday) I began building my surfboard. The board is a 6'4" Retro-fish. I'm building it from a kit by Grain Surfboards. The first order of business was to build a rocker table. This is used to help build a supportive structure beneath the frame to take the stress of it it when gluing the planks to it. This was fairly simple, and I had extra time before dinner at Paul Merage's house, so I glued up the frame as well. On a side note, the frame pieces were all labeled, but the keel wasn't labeled with a front or back. I made some assumptions and went with what seemed to fit, but I'm crossing my fingers I didn't do it backwards.
