This is what I'm clamping my birch plys to when its finished properly to get the rocker.

This is the template which I will be tracing on the birch ply I will be purchasing.

This is what I used to make all of the sides of the template exact.

This is me standing on my template for size reference.

How do you guys think I'm doing so far?
I will be using 3-4 sheets of 1/8 inch thick BIRCH ply. I'm not putting concave in my first board but I will try on my next.

Looks a little fat in the middle, but other than that you're doing a great job.

It is 40 centimeters in the middle, I've done some research and apparently some boards are that wide. I really want to do a good job on this, not only for my school mark, but for something I can be proud of. I may be able to make a little bit of cash selling boards to my friends and what not seeing as there aren't any wakeskate shops around my area. Very Happy

Looks like my first board, the shape anyways. I made mine out of Pine.
