Here's the first draft of the design.

It has been done on paper in order to share it with everybody. If you would like to receive an DWG file for AutoCAD, send me an e-mail.juan@kuyagua.com

1) First step was to order a foam blank that closelly approached the board I had in mind. I ordered a Clark Foam 7'11"R which allow for boards of up to 3" inches thick. I'm looking for flotation and speed. The end board will be a Winged Swallow tail, 7'6" long, 21 1/2" wide and 3" thick.

2) Using Carlos' 7'2" board as a guideline, I designed a cardboard template that will replicate that shape but in a 7'6". In this photo I'm printing the outline on one side of the blank.
