This is a step-by-step, illustrated guide to make a solid, lightweight, wooden surfboard from scratch. It begins by showing readers how to design their own surfboard on a computer but offers a way to skip that by downloading a complete template from the author's website. The remaining chapters give detailed instructions for cutting, assembling and coating with fiberglass all the parts necessary to make a classically elegant, high-performance surfboard whose immense beauty will turn heads. Each page provides plenty of time-saving tips the author has learned from carving numerous wooden surfboards over the last several years. The book also includes lists of tools and supplies, as well as other resources for additional information that might be of interest to the builder of a wooden surfboard. The wave-riding vehicles that result from following this tutorial are works of art that would be suitable for hanging on a museum wall. The author, however, strongly encourages builders to take their new masterpieces for many memory-making adventures in the surf.
