Launch DIY Build Your Own Skateboard Workshop

 I was super excited do the workshop! already had a shape planned out and everything, this was a board Tim Mott gave me a while back, it broke on a disaster so i decided to bring it back to life! 
 Its really an amazing thing what Andy has going here, within 4 to 5 hours kids are walking out with they're own shaped skateboard gripped and ready to ride, his next one will be in June so keep your ears peeled and sign up! 

 Drawing on a template to create the shape, here you can make your board how ever you want, width, length, wheelbase, nose length, etc.

 Time to cut! (mine on left, Jaeson's on right)

 Scott came and volunteered to make things go faster! 

 And so did Turtle! 

 After its cut out you want to file it down to get a nice round edge or you can make it how ever you want really, then you sandpaper it down to make it nice and smooth!

 the energy is rad! everyone is stoked to build theyre own skateboards! who wouldn't be!?
People from all age groups are excited for this! 

 Next was graphics and i decided to stain mine

 There was tons of rad shapes and stains people did, wish i could have gotten a pic of them all! 

 Noah's shape was rad, he later went home to finish his graphic 

 Always good to see Wade! 

 Jaeson went for an old Gonz Vision shape and got pretty dang close! 

Stoked to skate it! Can't wait for tail blocks!
