Skip Frye Template traced from Chad Brienza's Frye.

Nose rocker: 4 1/4"

Tail rocker: 2 5/8"

Thickness: almost 3 1/8" at stringer but foiled out through the rest of the board and rails, so it doesn't seem as thick

60/40 Palm-of-hand-shaped rails

hard edge last 18"

2+1 Set-up (Frye Placement) 8" box 6 5/8" to 7" up from tail, plus 2 FCS plugs on each side parallel to and lined up with front edge of box.

Top-notch $400 glass job:

I went all out on this glass job... didn't cut any corners... laid it all out on the line!

It turned out to be a beautiful board. My dad wanted to ship it back home to Michigan when he saw it at my house... I sure wish I wasn't hurting for money then... I would have liked for him to have had it.
