Soulglider has a plywood paipo his friend Bob made for him. It has about eight coats (or more) of Tung Oil. It's the only plywood board that I've seen that looked properly oiled. At first I thought ...

The resin will not like the oiled wood. Better to use an oil-based varnish. Let it dry a few days before you sand the varnish.

Was the trouble only at the rails?

Are the rails really sharp...n ...

Scarf a double thicknes of the same plywood onto the nose, and you'll be able to put a little sanded kick in the nose. You also get a nose handle.

So many unanswered questions with Roger's stuff, like what about the flying wing? One final suggestion...don't pull the plug on your website until you ...

Some people just pour on boiling water.

I've also heard vague mention of a torch method. I assume that involves using a gas torch to heat up the plywood after it's been properly soaked.

This advice may come too late....experiment on the scraps first.

Myself, I've only bent solid timbers, like poplar, pine, and cedar. I usually soak the nose for 3 days, and then cook it for about ...

If it was me, I'd make it like a bellyboard version of a Hynson downrailer.

Disclaimer: Ya, I'm wierd.

Watch this video to see some serious experimentation with blunt rails. It's squatty pedes ...

Okay...rough plan:

1. Come crashing ashore at Sunset Cliffs in the morning.

2. Brunch at the Bali Hai on Shelter Island.

3. Tiki making party at Mike's house.

4. Pagan farewell to the ...

Were you guys talking about Wegener's Tuna boards? Sort of like a kook box with EPS foam inside. Going finless would allow you to ride in shallow.

A while back I stumbled on some websites where folks were celebrating what they called International Tiki Day. Here's a copy and paste.
