BoardSide Displacement Hull Surfboard Project

For a couple of years now, I have been wanting to shape/build my own surfboard. So finally decided to dedicate some time and get started on the project. Lately I have been riding a 7' displacement hull and am absolutely amazed by how it paddles, handles and rides. Soooo, although I don't think it is the best board to build as the first one, I decided that this is what I wanted to go with. I am probably setting myself up for failure. Hee Hee.
