Looks pretty good,just fill in the gaps.Take a blade (like a olfa) and cut some angles in the top and bottom wing edges.Hit it with some sandpaper.Tip:get some wax paper and lay it in and around the foothold,so when you are gluing down the turf you won't stick it to the bottom.
Have you heat molded turf before?

So round the edges off?
should I shape it at all?
Which gaps and how should I fill them in?
and no I've never heat molded turf

Hey James I don't put anything on top of the wing ( or 8 mm max ) and I like to tapper the overhanging turf on the wing to next to nothing in the front to make more room in the tray for surf stance. A heat gun is a turf masters best friend along with sharp carpet blades .

I made a paper pattern first. Cut the turf out by the pattern but a little oversized. Then worked from the outside edge inward.

Heat is your friend around all the curves and especially wrapping those footholds...
