Also, at this point, the shaper has to decide where the “release point” will occur. The release point is where the softer, rounded rails end and the sharp turning edge begins. The sharp edge near the tail is the driving part of the board that a surfer uses to carve from side to side and generate speed. The rounded rails are used to move the board around on the face of the wave.
Charles has “roughed out” the board, and it simply needs some creative tuning and cleaning up with the sander. This Impact is almost is ready to ride. The next step is the glassing process.
