Re: california surfcrafts (cork boards)
This isnt a critisim more of my own thought. Rather than glass could you use paulownia? Grain going length ways b/matched so flex is evenish?

Re: california surfcrafts (cork boards)
With the blanks..Is the cork on each side of equal thickness? Cork/glass/cork..or is it thicker on the hull side? How does the cork sand? Does it knock chunks out

Re: Balsa Twin Fin
Cheers, long time lurker. Landlocked now but thats going to change. Ive never used balsa but I might have found a good source, does it have the strength not to be glassed? Just oiled?
