I didn't have the right tools or a lot of bar clamps to easily make the skin for the top the way the instructions say, so I just added each piece one at a time. Painstakingly. But at least I know that each strip is glued firmly to the frame.  |

I planed the rails and the top smooth, and sanded to the shape of the board.  |

Painted on a cheater coat of resin to both sides of the baord; I used Solarez, and it worked out really well.  |

Then I installed my vented leash plug to let hot air out of the board when everything is closed up.  |

Had to level out the board a lot to add the resin for the fin box.  |
