Wooden boat builder, welcome.

You must have patience and skills.

I've built several hollow wood surfboards, and stressed over the slightest details of design, in regards to hydrodynamics, weight and strength, and have likely build my last as it is just too tedious, and I don't need any more surfboards.

At this point I'm only concentrating changing up the fins, where I feel there is lots of room for improvement over what has been accepted design, with little change, since 1967 or so, when George Greenough copied the tail fin of a bluefin tuna, slapped it on a kneeboard, and changed the way a wave could be ridden.
