Gerry Lopez once said that every surfer should make his own surfboard and I’ve been curious about the wooden ‘surfboard kits’ that Grain Surfboards offer since they were featured in Wend #2. However, I’m not much of a handyman and so even a step by step manual with all the required materials, as provided in the Grain kits, would be too much of a stretch to turn me into a bonafide surfboard shaper. That is why I was incredibly stoked to learn that my neighbour, friend and sometimes surf partner but more often beer drinking partner has been quietly hard at work assembling his very own wooden surfboard. So props to you, Sean and when can I place an order for a 6′, twin keel fish? Sean is keeping a detailed blog to document the process that the Grain guys seem excited about.

Cheers! I think Grains’ Wherry is my next project!
Gotta finish this one first! Railshaping starts tomorrow after Rip van Frodo wakes up from his slumber!

Now, I just hope the fin don’t hum and it doesn’t pull to one side because it is crooked! ha ha ha
