New surfboard build with balsa wood.





Short video below on balsa wood shaping.

Building with balsa is Great!
I really like the results that I am getting with this surfboard build.
The surfboard is going to have a red cedar bottom and a balsa wood top deck.With balsa wood rails.

Ordering the balsa wood was no problem at all, arrived at my doorstep within a week from ordering it.
I went right to work building my next board. Trying a design I have for small mushie waves, to about overhead wave size.
The surfboard will have a quad fin setup and a double concave tail for channeling the water at the fins while on rail.
So excited to open. I couldn't waite to get the
wood to my shop to open it.

My shipment of balsa wood
20 board ft plus a couple 1 1/2" 3' balsa sticks.


I cut the wood down into small workable pieces.
That's the begging layout on the template table.
