You can make a template out of tape, stick it to a sheet of styrene and make yourself one, or make it out of real wood for that matter. It's fun.

I finally got around to finishing my surfboard.

I stained it then covered it with Polyurethane.

Then I decided to clear coat it with Testers Enamel clear. The clear felt dry to touch but never hardened. If I set the board on a rack, it would sort of dent the finish. And this was after days and days of drying.

So I wet sanded with 1500 and 2000 and applied two coats of Future.

It came out pretty good, considering I snapped and had to re-glue the fin,(THREE TIMES)!

I have a modeling fiend in Australia, who is an avid surfer. I sent him a pix of a surfboard that I saw in the Ferrari store in South Beach, Fl. I think it was around $3,000. He sent me these three boards. The one on the left is from the pix that I sent him. The one on the right uses PE emblems.

Buy some 1/16th inch basswood, layer two sheets together, cut out shape and sand to your hearts content. Use a piece of sheet plastic for the fin. You can make a bunch boards for not much money.

The pics aren't about the board, but that's how I did this one.
