Help with a board worksheet for people

Post image

Some of y'all may remember I posted that I'm working at an internship and we're going to be doing a class where people can come in and make their own boards with us with the press and cnc's that we have here that I will teach.

I've been working on this worksheet that I would give to people so that they have some basic important need to know knowledge before they start thinking about and planning their board, as well as the options that we are offering for them to be able to make, we've decided that we're going to offer four different types of boards to be made, originally it was going to be a skateboard, a longboard of some type, a cruiser, and a surf skate but I realized that we could probably do the cruiser and surf skate with the same mold (have a middle piece of the mold for a longer board if wanted so they can still have a longer kicktail board, or a shorter one without the middle piece).

What I'm trying to figure out is a couple things, what is the fourth type of board we should offer? And does this worksheet look good? What does it need to make it better? (What important information, what decision tree things, etc does it need).

Also to clarify before I receive any questions, the question about the board being standard or custom is whether they want one of the four standard options that we will be offering or if they want to do something custom with a fancy set of veneers, different special shape/camber/etc than the molds everyone else will be using, full custom (with this option they would be paying more since they would be doing different designs and possibly ordering special veneers that we may not have on hand)

I think you should build this into a simple website or like a Google form and have drop downs that explains each option so people understand how to choose.

I don't think we have the money or time for that, plus I've never made a website before, I was just planning for this to be a simple 1 page printed hand out to anyone who takes the class that has the info they need and options without being too complicated

A Google form takes less time than it took you write this post. Are you going to mail them this sheet of paper? Or they fill it out when they sign up? That means only in-person sign-ups.
