This is my first hollow wooden surfboard. It was built from a template by Rich Blundell (http://treetosea.org/richs-template-shop/). A discussion of the build process and an overall gret community for wooden surfboard building can be found at (http://www.grainsurf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2629).
This board was donated to the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center annual auction, so I never even had a chance to try it out.
