Hey Nemoz,

Welcome to Lose the Straps! Thank you for joining and posting your pictures of your custom strapless beauty. Very cool. It's amazing how inexpensively you built your board. :shock: If I thought I had any shaping skills I would try to build a board myself, but I tend to hate all the chemicals, dust, etc. So I leave it to the experts. :D Next time you make one it would be great if you shot some pictures while you are in the different stages of making your board. I am sure your pictures and tips would be quite useful to others here that build boards as well.

That is an awesome place to live. Canary Islands tend to have some pretty strong winds. Do you use it mostly in lighter wind? I agree with Chanson, it definitely looks like fun to ride.
