I've gotten some good ideas from ya'll, and I'm now ready to start the journey. I should have mentioned that this 6 foot 1 inch funny board is going to be strictly ordanental and I will be hanging it on my wall of my Apartment. Should I wet sand it? Can I use glossy white paint to make that new shinney surf board look come out? How do I hang it and with what? What grade sand paper should I use? What kind of primer should I use? Thanks Guys.

sand it, to get the glossy off it, then use a good oil base primer, KILZ, then use good quality high gloss oil based latex paints and good brushes.

if your the Do-It-Yourself kind of guy.....just start at the corner and start pulling it back.  You may want to start with a small section ....until your sure there is hard wood underneath. I give you a thumbs up on this one ....since it's not YOUR typical kind of question.  ;o)

um boneless? i dont really do them much but i can think of a few things you could do. if you wanna finger flip grab the board at the nose when you pop your bonelesss or what ever. make sure you grab it with your 4 fingers on the grip and the thumb on the underside. feels weird but pretty easy to make flip. so just flip it and jump on. no complys are pretty cool but kinda hard. you dont actually grab the board but you can take a foot off to pop your board. there are many ways to do like old school kickflips. one that i find pretty easy is with your hand. ok your ridin your board and you put your front foot on the ground and pop your board w/ your back foot. when the board pops up smack the side with your hand and it should flip. cavemans? um go caveman a rail. thats fun kinda scary but yea. um you can like caveman fingerflip manual. i can do them but my friend can. just like run up to the manual pad and do a fingerflip on to it but you gotta land in a manual and thats where i always fall. they are kinda cool. ha good luck doin anything mullen can. that dudes nuts. 720 double flips. like 2 360 flips in one. crazyness. double flip rewinds. you can prolly learn how to do some casper flips and stuff but i think  that stuffs gay. unless you do it moving. like a casper slide on a box. that would be cool. i dont kno anyone who can do those besides mullen. maybe daewon song.

no styrofoam??? aww that ruins some of the fun! i love crafty projects tho. okay you can use bakeable clay. it comes in a variety of colors and can be molded into many shapes. i would suggest working from the inside out and making it into a circle with a pie shaped cutout in it so you can see inside. basically you would make the clay figure and then bake it. you can spray it with a glossy finish and tadaa! oh, and to hang it from the ceiling? i guess you would need to screw in a metal hook beforehand. good luck!!

CORRECTIONS FOLLOW.  Look carefully, as some of them are easily missed (such as the colon after the salutation).  Corrected format, syntax, clarity, paragraphs, etc.  Good luck.\n\nDear So and So:\n\nI am writing this letter on the behalf of my Legacy for the Art Studio class. \n\nOur project consists of a storyboard/framed pictorial that focuses on a comedic story about about a man -- my father, in fact -- who does not know how to speak English, and what happens when he tries to buy chickens at KFC. \n\nThe artwork will contain multiple pen and pencil sketches on standard leter-sized white paper. I would like the artwork to be hung in suitable location at eye-level on the second or third floor. Please note that the contents (i.e., story, size, medium, etc.) of the artwork can be changed if necessary, however, due to the nature of this project, that could impose an unrealistic deadline on the project. \n\nPlease let me know if you require any further information or if I may be of assistance.\n\nSincerely yours,\n\nFalennixonx

Cut out a stencil on a thin peice of cardboard and place it somewhere on your snowboard. Grab dad’s spray paint from the garage and spray away. Good luck!

Call your local theatre and ask for the phone number of their local distributor's office.\n\nYears ago, I did this for a Halloween party. I made an appointment and got a lot of posters for horror movies and everypne thought it was great! Please bear in mind, the posters and other items will be folded for storage, they are not rolled up, so there will be fold lines.\n\nThis was cheaper and easier than E-Bay.

The bump in your board is from the heat. Never leave your board in a hot car or in direct sunlight (e.g. to dry it). Make sure you dry your board thoroughly with a towel so that there is no excess water (this can cause what is called 'de-lamination' - you dont want that).\n\nI would advise that you probably need a new board (depending on the extent of the bubble).\n\nBacis tip would be to not 'bus drive' the wave. Make sure you ride the 'across/with' the wave section that i not breaking (i.e. away from the break). Once you are comfortable with this, then you can think about doing some tricks.\n\nBTW, body boarding is the correct term. Note to noob above: you have no idea....

What?  Everyone recommending minimum  8 ft as a longboard?\n\nThe guy is 6-1, minimum 9 ft.  It depends on what you want to do.  9-6 to 10-0 is common.  If your break has some pretty lazy waves, you can go bigger (up to 12 ft) for that easy paddle.\n\nConcentrate on thickness for your weight.  It all depends on what you like.  If you don't know how to surf, get something you can handle.\n\nLook through the annual board issue that Surfer usually puts out, or pick up any surf mag to see different styles.  Its all a personal choice and how fit you are (or want to be).

You can build it out of wood or plywood but you need to top it with puck board. I don't acutally know what that is but that's what someone told me to do. I think it's a board made out of the stuff that makes pucks but it can't be cheap or even easy to find. You should probably just go to home depot and ask someone there what would be good because you ask this question a lot, and obviously none of us are helping you.

stick with blank boards boards with no brands you get em at any skate shop you dont need a brand board trust me on this one. a blank board lasts long and im doin 12 stairs. it will break along with other boards but blanks have perfect weight and dementions

If you're learning to surf, I suggest you rent boards for a while until you can tell the difference in different boards. Then you can make an educated decision on what kind of board you want without dishing out a lot of money on a board that you won't like or won't work for you. If you have friends that surf, borrow their old boards. At least it's free and a great way to experiment on a variety of styles. Be aware of what you like about different boards and how variations to the shape of the board will effect the performance (length, width, rocker, tail, fins, etc). That way when you get a board of your own you'll have some idea of what will work for you most of the time.

This site has information on shaping, cutting, gluing, sanding, and painting polystyrene: \nhttp://www.societyofrobots.com/materials_styrofoam.shtml\nSince polystyrene is used for surf board blanks you can always consult the surfers who build boards:\nhttp://www.surfersteve.com/shaping.htm

yea they have different sizes for different people. if i were you i would go to a skate shop pick out a few boards and stand on them. see how they feel to you. i like thinner boards but thats because my feet are not very big. the bigger your foot the bigger you want your board. i guess? thinner boards are also used more often for street skating. bigger for vert. if your goin to skate vert you want to tighten your trucks because its a lot easier to fall w/ loose trucks on a ramp. length i dont think matters much. there are long boards tho. those are for cruisin around n stuff. you cant really do any tricks on them. but they go pretty fast which can be fun i guess. i like skatin strret tho. kickfliping gaps n stuff. lots of fun. i have been skatin for about 3 years. i guess im ok compared to people who i skate with. they have been skatin longer and im just as good. i bs 5-0 my first rail today. it was bad ass. good luck and have fun.

Speak to your local surf shop. Try out some few boards and see how they respond. These shops should be able to offer boards that people can test (i think you have to leave credit card details to prevent boards getting nicked). There's bound to be a shaper there, or they will know one so you know you'll get a good advice.\n\nTry the big foamie ones (yes, the beginner board). Otherwise, an egg-shaped board, around 7'6 will be good fun (example McTavish Egg). Find something with rounder rails. Your aim at this time is to catch more waves as much as you could to get your pop-ups perfect. Then do your bottom turn next, etc. \n\nAnd then you can progress to riding 6's (since you skateboard/snowboard, i gathered you're geared towards shortboard-riding?). But if you are a soul-surfer, then perhaps try a long board. Again, the type of boards you'll be riding is dependent on the type of waves you'll be surfing.\n\nHappy shopping.
