Homemade board!!

DIRK · Posted: Aug 21, 2009 9:30 pm Post subject: Homemade board!!

i dont know how many of you know but i made a homemade board a couple weeks ago. The first time i took it out the concave split and pretty much made me start all over i was so bummed because i was working on it for about a month Sad

so i went on a shizzle load of vacations and never got to fixing it. But long story short i just started working on it again and i put some screws in the concave and fiberglassed over that and took it for another test run today. When i rode it today it was one of the most if not the most solid board i have every ridden i loved it, i landed everything first try and it was so smooth im so happy Very Happy

i felt so accomplished working on a board for about 3 months and having an outcome like that (you can just ask alex how excited i was Laughing

) anyone that every comes down to south florida is welcome to ride it!!
