I've read and re-read the 'Surfers Path' article, trying to get the feel of what the board should be, for me it represents a challenge, something physical that I can hold up and say 'I made that!' even if it doesnt work, it'll make a great wall hanger or picnic table for my van..I'd done a little research on Alaia board design, mostly using Google image search to see what shape I should be looking for, I also looked at my existing quiver of 'normal' shapes.
In the end my final solution was to just look at the board and imagine what I'd like to see, and feel from it, so I made some marks, drew some lines and carved it up.
I ended up with what could best be described as a coffin lid... indeed one of our neighbours did enquire if I was building a coffin on the drive..lol.
