For Sierra

Finally finished!  Here is board number 3.  I actually finished it at the end of last year, but with a new little baby in the mix i didn't have time to post.  My wife is very happy and i am sure she will enjoy it even more when she has the chance to get it in the water!


It is a big improvement over the first two boards i made weighing in at 3.8 kgs or 8.4 lbs including glassed on fins.

Beautiful board.
I really like your build technique.
Are the rails 1/4 inch ply and cork laminated together?
If so what thickness cork and ply do you use?
I assume gorilla glue will do the job, but do you steam the ply first?
Keep up the good work.

Man those are beautiful! Please forgive me if you've already stated this, but you use 1/8 birch plywood on these right? How are you spacing your supports? And what do you suppose would happen if you took cork out of the rails?
