Builder of solid, lightweight wooden surfboards shares secrets<\/strong><\/h4>\n

…
\n\"\"After several years of crafting solid, lightweight wooden surfboards and honing his technique, woodworking waterman Ted Salois is sharing his knowledge and time-saving tricks in a 170-page book.<\/p>\n

How To Build The World\u2019s Most Incredible Wooden Surfboard<\/em><\/a><\/strong> is billed as a step-by-step, illustrated guide to make a solid, lightweight, classically elegant, hi-performance longboard.<\/p>\n

Although the book\u2019s first chapter provides instruction for designing a template to the reader\u2019s own specifications, Salois makes a complete set of plans<\/a><\/strong> available on this website.<\/p>\n

Certainly, saying \u201cthe world\u2019s most incredible\u201d is a lofty claim.\u00a0 Salois says it is backed up by a closer inspection of the construction details.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWooden surfboards have been popping up everywhere in recent years,\u201d Salois said.\u00a0 \u201cBut they are generally made from kits and are usually hollow. \u00a0These are solid, foam-filled, wood-stripped beauties that are \u2018classically elegant\u2019 with modern performance capabilities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Salois said he has made numerous boards for an exclusive group of customers and provided some to non-profit organizations to auction at fund-raising events.<\/p>\n

The book provides a list of tools and supplies so a person of average ability can put together a board to be proud of and actually ride in fun surf.<\/p>\n

\"\"Many people may be satisfied to hang a completed wooden surfboard on a home or office wall, but the author encourages builders to take their finished projects to the beach and catch some waves.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe prepared for a slow transition from the parking lot to the shoreline,\u201d Salois said.\u00a0 \u201cThese boards are real head-turners and people always want to ask questions about the building process, materials used, and more\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The book can be ordered through amazon.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
