Olo of the Sun 19 foot surfboard, shaping continues part 2

Olo of the Sun 19 foot surfboard, shaping continues.  The first rail facets are marked, 152 feet of pen line with the trusty wooden marking gauge.





Here the nose rocker is accentuated due to the wide angle of the camera lens



The  50/50 rail is slightly 'pinched' or 'egged', I like the feel of pinched rails on  longer boards of  17 feet and over, they give a smoother and more stately ride. 

The nose. . .
The tail. . . .
Weight is now down to 45 pounds, which is rather light for such a long craft, but the board will gain some mass when the resin coats and fins are added.
