Solid Wood Surf Board

[st68]

At the Polar Bear Event I got to ride Topaz Surfer's wooden surfboard. He made this out of solid red wood!! It is heavy but man was it a blast to ride. I was able to walk up to the nose, walk to the back, it was classic. All the other guys who rode the board all loved it like me and we were like little kids in a candy store with big smiles every time. I have been badgering Topaz Surfer to figure out a way to produce these boards for others..... it is truly a fun board to ride. I think 3 of us could ride it at the same time because it is so solid!! Would you be interested in a board like this? Here are some pics from the event

2003 Tige 22V. Topaz Surfer had it dialed in awesome... shows you can have a great wave with an older boat... his wave was up there with all the others!! That board is so fun. One of the guys says his son does sit ups and push ups on their long board while riding!!!

I totally agree....dave's wave is great!...it ranks high on my list for sure. The man can shape some wood as well.

Squid so bummed you couldn't make it, but I understand. Missed having you there and as always looking forward to our next session together.

Very cool.

Do you have more pictures of it? Top and bottom? I'm curious how it is tapered in the various dimensions... and what fins you selected. Did you model it after a manufactured board or just wing it?

Looks like a fun project if you have about 40 hours to spare

I just used a fin off of one of my ocean longboards. The shape is also taken from the same board just made smaller, but mostly just eye balling it. Yep lots of time needed. DSCN1605.jpg
