Mr. Mike Surfboards: Part 16, Putting in the rails

[@chrisvermeulen4314]

Hi Michael, thanks for this video. I've just started shaping my first board and initially I was a bit nervous regarding the rails, but having seen your video and how you've explained it, I feel much more confident. I like the 60/40 principle as it makes it so much simpler and far less daunting.

Crude but spot on. 👍👍

You have your outline, and your blank is roughly planed for foil and thickness. But just a little constructive criticism if I may. You must refine the deck and bottom contours before you start turning rails guys. BECAUSE, your rail bands will change when your contouring your deck and bottom. One step at a time! Turning rails are fun but if the previous steps are not attended to, the rest of the shape will suffer. Nice work though! Keep it up!
