thats sick. nice website too. the next one you make trying adding some concave to it like the first one just not as much. that little river that you ride is awesome especiall the upper to lower level gap. it would be awesome if you put a rail there so you could slide down.

this board is about 43 inches, 1080mm. its not really anything specific, just looked around and took the average length. they aint sending any water down the gaps for the winter, but it hopefullywill crank back up soon. we have made a rail out of some pvc pipe, so will getting some use out of that, either in the wider canal or the one with the gaps

this board took abit of fu?king about cause i added a extra layer of ply along the bottom and shaped it using a rasp. we had a two week break so the board occupied my time for the better part of that
