How to add plywood skegs to a finless plywood board ?

Along the sessions, I realize that my finless plywood board is great in small, nice peeling waves, but sometimes when the waves get bigger, when they section, when I need to do some quick turns, then the board lacks some control. No real side slipping issue, but it turns by drifting more than biting the wave.
Maybe I could get some extra control by adding one or two small skegs ?
I know how to make the skegs in plywood, but I wonder how to attach them to the board. Glue ? Epoxy resin ? Screws ?

Gorilla Glue is sturdy stuff but you MUST clamp very well because it expands a lot as it reacts. And it goes off fast so be ready for that.

Why not glass them?

when two woods are glued, as a rule the glue has to be more elastic than wood, if it is glued with polyester or epoxy, it flexes with the bending
es
cuando se pegan 2 maderas, por norma la cola tiene que ser mas elástica que la madera, si se pega con poliéster o epoxy, este con la flexión se resquebraja
