RE-MADE surfboard, testing in BIG waves. 

The biggest swell in 15 years just hit California. I found this neglected Bing Copeland longboard on offer up for $10. It was so far gone I almost used it for scrap foam, but then I had an idea. What if I reshaped the original board into a specific shape for catching big waves?
I documented the whole process and finished the board the night before the historic waves arrived.
