Many thanks for your comment Mike John; Here's a more detailed board making video where I included the fiberglassing etc: th-cam.com/video/k7jUTCPUGmg/w-d-xo.html Also while I trust the robust strength of 9mm thick marine plywood you've alerted me to the fact that I should state that I don't jump with my boards I'm over 60 and its not a risk worth taking for me I just enjoy cruising and now foiling but I never jump except on unavoidable large waves. I make boards only for myself (as a hobby I'm not a professional board maker) I never sell them here's the others I've made over the last few years: th-cam.com/video/01UTLWyqq08/w-d-xo.html

Thanks you're welcome to wear it if you wish next time I see you on the water, its two 4k cameras each covering 360°x220° then synchronised (the hardest bit) and stitched using software

Hi Pia, I bought a 1.5m long piece of Marine grade plywood for £25, as you can see I then shaped it a little maybe lost a couple of cm in lenghth and I've just weighed it as is with straps etc on the bathroom scales and it came to 5kgs, the whole thing including straps etc came to around £90 approx

Thanks for that! I'm going to have to compare to my ocean rodeo Mako to get an idea of the difference. What was the reason you shaped the tips the way you did?

Ha ha no I wouldn't compete with a mako (but thats the next shape I was going to try next), I looked at these designs www.instructables.com/id/Plywood-kiteboard/ among other webpages and I thought the shape would be good as an alternative to gouging channels along the board on the underside which good boards have as I couldn't achieve that in the available thickness of the plywood (would've taken a lot of work an would've weakened it)..as it is it works it gives a channeling/grip on the trailing edge of the direction of travel.
