I see your leash plug is located centre of your board. Does it get in the way often or are riding/paddling off the back? I'm presuming you are using a bicep style leash.

Just something new to try out. Shaped board to ride both directions so wanted to test out a center position instead of 1 plug at each end. Using a 4-5 inch cord to create a little more slack in the leash (wrist or bicep) and so far no complaints. We will see with more people riding them...

Couple of the last boards of the season. Moving on to foam and fibeglass. 2 almost done and will post pics soon!

The quiver must be growing exponentially.

I like the little boards you made for you and your familly, their look is nice, short and rounded. I guess all these hard wood boards are quite heavy, aren't you afraid to be hit by them during the rides ?

Why yes it certainly is.

They are mostly made of paulonia wood and really aren't that heavy. Most of the time I don't lose control of them and have only been dinged a couple of times.

Here we go again...
These two are my first foam efforts. Extruded polystyrene aka dow blueboard. 2 inch foam with balsa stringers and futures fin boxes.

This one is my 10 year old daughter's. She did the artwork. 2 inch Dow blueboard with futures boxes etc.

This one is a bit beefy. 3 inch dow blueboard at 48 inches long and 20 inches wide. Futures boxes with a longbox.

This one is 2 inch dow blueboard, 48 inches long and 20 inches wide.

48 inch by 20 inch by 1 1/4 inch thick paulonia with futures boxes.

48 inch long by 20 inch wide and 1 1/4 thick paulonia with futures boxes.

44 inch long by 19 wide and 1 1/4 thick paulonia with futures boxes.

Another beefy foam board.

Good stuff. And I thought I had a board building problem.

A couple of new boards from last Fall. 42"x22"x2"
Both DOW blueboard with futures fin boxes and some attempts at color.

I made 4 of this style.
