Long time lurker here! i finally got the guts up to jump into a shape.
So I bought some foam at the local TrueValu store and glued it up with Elmers. I did one side at a time so in case I messed up i could go and do the other side better?
I was going to do a fun gun, but ended up doing a retrofish. I'm thinking about a red cutlap with a quad set up, maybe I'll do a five fin? can someone give me the fin placement on a five fin surfboard.
I turned the rails on one side, just like I like them, nice and medium down turned..sweet!! Any input on rail, rocker and fin placement would be great. Also if you guys have any glassing schedule I'd be stoked. i was thinking about doing a 6,6,6,4 top with a 6,6,6, bottom. I know it seems a bit much but it's going to be stringerless.....do you thing i should put a stringer in it. i know this is a lot of questions, thanks for your help.
Peace.
Why do you feel compelled to troll?

Definitely a weird story in here somewhere - the blog linked to features a story of a "home depot surfboard" dated 2008 - 2010, 3 - 5 years ago, with the same picture. In the blog its Home Depot foam, glued up with epoxy. Now the identical picture shows up in your thread, but its TruValue foam glued up with Elmers.
The blog board went on to get a sheet of luaun plywood glued to the deck with thickened epoxy paste and held down with sandbags, and bondo on the rails - so why are you asking about putting a stringer in it? Wanna tell us what this is really all about?
Ok you caught me on the picture. All I was doing was trying to build some street cred so I would be respected around here. All you pro shapers and surfshop owners. I mean it's like you guys have all built at least 1-5 boards, you guys have it completely dialed in, and pump out some sweet shapes. I just want to fit in and ask questions.

No, it was the shallow contempt vibing from your words that gave you away. You're still mocking, even in your 'jigs up response above.
I'll paraphrase a reply you gave in my thread to Resinhead: "its guys like you who give this place a bad rep".
