re-shaping board nose
to make it safe enough only a couple of inches will suffice....just radius the nose area and use one of those multi tools.8-10 inches will seriously change the nose rocker and if hes a learner he will he will probably need the uplift to stop nose diving....an in experience pearling more often than not will lead to the board flipping over and scoring a hit on him
Tennis ball radius is my 2cents
thanks guys

Is that about what the nose is on the Desert Storm ,doing a couple of covers for them at the moment.
howdy all
I've got an big old floaty 6'8" board that I'd like to pass on to my young fella to learn to surf on, & am thinking of cutting about 8-10" or more out of the nose and giving it a nice round longboard like shape.....taking the point out for safety reasons, so he:
a) doesn't spear himself or other kids and
b) making it a manageable length for him to handle and manoeuvre in the whitewater
happy to have a crack at the cutting, glassing etc. myself, anybody got any advice? is it easy enough to do?
should I even bother?
thanks
