Here are some pictures of my latest board build and some better shots of my board. I am going out today at San Francisco. Surfline says "Good Conditions 6 to 8 feet".

Hope you got some before the winds switched. Thanksgiving over indulgence & woke up too late today. I saw light offshores on the wind report and was about ready to make the drive. By the time I finished my coffee, the report was showing 10-12mph onshores. It's been fun in SF. Let me know next time you plan to come over the bridge. I might try for early tomorrow if the winds switch back and there's still something to ride.

Yeah, def let me know when you're coming up to surf OBSF. This week looks like only short period wind swell, but it might turn offshore for a day or two around Thurs.

I got to the beach too late on Friday. The surf crapped out by the time I got there. I got some good surf today though. I made a lot mistakes on the board. The rails are too thick and the tuck is too big etc. But it goes pretty good. Let us know, when you have some time.

so the rails being to thick, does it try to leave the wave face and "cork out"?
What does the tuck do?

The rails are more floaty. I haven't decided whether that is good or bad. Tuck is curve or the amount cut away on the bottom of the rail. I can tell that it isn't quite as "crisp" a cut through the face of a wave. But it seems be just fast and looser than my previous board. I have already got my next board planned.
