Once you work out how to fix a certain problem you cant get in the mindset of “Ive put too much time and money into this to throw it all away”. That just results in more heart break as you continue to make the same mistakes.My results are very good now, but it wasnt always the way and Ive got a lot of scrapped moulds and wall art boards lolThat’s great to hear man! I absolutely agree with you about willing to start over with the knowledge you have gained. Unfortunately in business and life you are under real pressures to be “realistic” and “practical”. Often that’s a winning strategy to get you through rough periods but in my experience it is not a good long term strategy. April 8, 2014 at 3:29 pm #676209 Scooby2 623 Postsyeah Bob, that’s what exactly what I have had to do. I start with the wide end of a split ski where the base material starts, I cut that out with an extra 1/8th or so. Then I flip the template and place the other pattern only as far down as I have to until the tail section nests into the sidecut area of the one cut out before. ALias, – what you mean is that you were a pioneer in the spoon shaping and concaves for extra drive. My first board was a bit wavy (all good) until the last foot and then it got real wiggly, it still rips on a good day in Utah though!

And again. April 11, 2014 at 12:31 am #676212 BobGnarly 220 PostsHere is a quick sketch of the shape.
