New Wood Design

2009-10-09T21:44:00.000-07:00

6'2"x21"x2.375" new hollow wood fish design. This design utilizes a balsa perimiter frame and poplar deck and bottom skins that transfer all the surfers energy out to the rails of the board. The top and bottom act completely independantly from each other (no physical connection between the two except at the rails).
