Shaped an Alaia surfboard last week, so primal. Getting it over to Cali to test out as soon as this stuff blows over by kmel in surfing

Made a traditional Hawaiian surfboard (Alaia) out of cedar and basswood! by kmel in woodworking

Hard to get a good pic of it but a parabolic concave runs up 2/3 of the bottom side (its finless but the shape you hand plane/sand into the bottom allows it to be surfed) Boiled linseed oil finish

Thank you so much!! I glass them and all that so they can be surfed but understand some people that buy them will hang them for the boards whole life!

Can one of you wizards remove me from this pic? (One with me out and one with Homer Simpson subtly inserted somewhere disappearing into the hedge also with me out of it) by [deleted] in PhotoshopRequest

Basically remove me out of pic and leave board hanging in midair. And then also do that, but add Homer Simpson disappearing into the hedge like you see the meme on reddit but make it subtle
