The rails are a laminate of 1/8th of an inch poplar ply, 1/4 inch balsa and 1/4 inch cork.
The top deck is 1/8 inch birch ply and the internal structure is Balsa.
I used a dark stain on the wood before glassing, i am not sure if i would do this again as the dark color tends to show all of the imperfections in the glass. I am using resin research epoxy glass and i am still figuring out how to get the best results, however i was more efficient this time, using a lot less resin.
The fins are cut from an uncompressed snowboard core, i shaped and glassed them before glassing them on to the board.
I also got my hands on some goretex valves which means the valve can stay in and doesn't need to be removed.
The board is considerably lighter than No. 1, and more inline with a standard foam board.
