I came in pretty sure I wanted make a pintail longboard. It looks sleek and it was for basic cruising, which was perfect for me, since I'm pretty inexperienced. It took me two drafts on paper, but I finally got a design I liked. I was not very careful with the bandsaw and it took me a couple of rounds of sanding and breaking at least one handsaw but I eventually got my rough shape. When we tested it with the wheels I was going to have to dig some serious wells or figure out a cutout, or deal with major wheelbite. I went the cutout route, and after scavenging throughout the shop I found an ovular drill base that was the perfect shape. I ended up with an awesome hammerhead shape I'm excited to work with and put graphics on.
