Other then what others have mentioned about making it a hair shorter to ensure a glove fit, I actually really like it. I surf so as it was said earlier in the post looks similar to an early 60s surfboard. But not to sound like a broken record, its yours as long as you like it, thats all that matters. Makes me want to go watch a surfing movie, or think about how you could actually make those scales look just like a surf board with multiple colors some sort of inserts to look like fins. Imagination at its best.
