    Default How Long

    How long did it take you to actually wrap your frist wave, or get your first liner.

    It's taking me forever because I have been teaching myself everything, just interested on how long it took all you guys.

    I can't wait till where I can do it consistantly, seeing how I am yet to wrap one.

    i think i worked up to doing it unintentionally, so when i actually tried it, i was able to do it. it just comes from experience

    10-15 sessions sounds about right if you have good waves.
