Surfboard Shaping - My first longboard (1 of 5)

Welcome to my shaping journey... During the pandemic as a way to keep myself occupied, I started repairing Surfboards. (That alongside my reluctance to pay for ding repairs) from this, my curiosity for shaping grew. I spent countless hours watching, reading, and researching how to get started, and in 2020 I finally bit the bullet. I started off by shaping myself a mid-length (I know... Shocking) The entire process was a beautiful mess filled with expensive mistakes. It is however to this date my favorite board. After a 12-month break, I finally secured myself a workshop I can call my own so why not start this journey by shaping something new. 9.2 x 23 x 3.25. I'm open to any suggestions you may have and love to talk about anything surf related so please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. All tips and tricks are welcomed :)
