Used Book in Good Condition

This book is my resource for board info. It's a little dated, but explains dimensions well (rocker, bottom, rails, concave, etc). Also has some good ding repair guidelines.

I looked through Essential Surfing to get an idea of some of the boards that I wanted to try and make. Their glassing instructions seemed to be pretty good. The greenlight guide and swaylocks are also great resources.

Your first board won't be exactly what you have in mind. Mine ended up with WAY too much vee in the tail (5'10" flyer copy) and about 1/2 inch too thick all around. Still a blast to ride on crappy small days when it's closing out. As long as your outline is kinda symmetrical, you'll have a good time riding whatever it is.
