My first board. I shaped and glassed it myself last year with much advise from Swaylocks. It was a great experience and its gotten me hooked. I now try to shape 2 or 3 boards a month if I can find the time. I would recommend every surfer try to shape a board once in their life.
I find you notice every little thing about a wave when you ride your own equipment. You are focusing so much on the details of your shape and trying to think of ways to improve it. It makes you super aware. I never felt that feeling riding a off the rack board, or even a custom shaped by someone else. If you try it you will see what I mean.
