PDF Plans for Hollow Wood Surfboard 9' 2" Performance

  This auction is for one (1) set of blueprints and one (1) E-Book "Building Your Hollow Wood Surfboard" by Chad Stone / Timeless Surf Company  (Not for commercial use or re-sale)

   This performance longboard is based off an old Takayama D-2 that I used to have.  I loved it but it was too light for my liking, so I modded it a bit and came up with this gem!  It has a modern outline, down turned rails with harder rails towards the back, and a nice spoon nose to top it off makes this a slick little nose rider as well as a good performer.  With a modest entry rocker and a distinct kick in the tail.  This is my "go to" board for most conditions.


I have developed a very unique method to build up the rails using just 4 triangular strips per rail (see pic), which makes the build process much easier and consistent, as well as giving the builder more freedom when shaping, without adding excess weight. 
   PLUS, I have developed how to have a built in SPOON NOSE on the hollow boards, DOMED DECKS, AND VEE-TAILS, unlike other hollow surfboard plans that are flat and featureless.
   My "Building Your Hollow Wood Surfboard" E-book gives a full explanation of this method, along with concept and layout, and a complete guide covering the tools and processes needed to construct your own Hollow Cedar Surfboard.  This digital version allows you to have full color, high resolution images that you can digitally zoom in on for extra detail that you cant get from a printed book.

Use 1/4"-3/16" thick cedar planks for outer skins and cedar rail strips, plywood spar and thin plywood ribs, Gorilla Glue and a bunch of clamps.  Pine can also be used **(see below)

   "Nothing rides like a wooden board."   I have heard it many times from many people, most of which I wrote off as bias opinions from the folks who sell them.   But as soon as I caught my first wave on a well designed wooden board, everything changed.  Not only is the very sight of the board an inspiration to paddle out on an otherwise sloppy day, but the solid feel and drive as you run down the line begs you to never ride anything else.  I have experimented with various shapes and materials to produce versatile boards that are responsive and easy to paddle, yet durable and beautiful enough to be a wall hanger. ~ From the Shaper

A small list of Internet resources will be included for tons of info on everything you might need from design to finish.

  Plans are setup for 1/2" spine and 1/8" ribs, thicker or thinner woods can be used, simply adjust the slot width to your liking.  Plans are glued to the wood of your choice by paste or white glue, and commonly cut out with a jigsaw or bandsaw.  Timeless Surfboards are decked with 3/16"-1/4" cedar or pine.   Finished board should be vented or filled with foam before decking.  The weight of finished shapes vary depending on the board size and materials used.  You should expect about 12-15 lbs for smaller boards, about 20-25lbs for larger boards
  **   Balsa and other light woods have not been tested on this design and may be too soft to be structurally sound.  Hard woods can be used with the compromise of weight.  These shapes have been tried, tested and tweaked to make great shapes that work well, not just for looks.
  Pictured above is a snapshot from the actual blueprints, along with a few pics of boards that have been constructed using these plans.  I am offering these plans at a very low price in order to make these projects more available to EVERYONE!   Don't let the low price fool you, this is a very well engineered design and shape that can be easily built with a little bit of patience and research.  There is a good amount of very loose, barely ride-able plans available, but these are NOT one of those plans.  I will be happy to answer all questions during the construction of your board.  But PLEASE don't buy these in hopes of starting a surfboard company or reselling.  Reproduction is prohibited for anything other than personal use.  There isn't many thing quite as gratifying as surfing a board that you shaped yourself. 
 

Other Info:     Item will be shipped (emailed) as soon as payment clears.   Please ask any and all questions that you might have BEFORE you bid.  Local cash payment welcome.
