Hi folks,

I've been thinking about building a Grain Leaf style solid western red cedar paipo for a few years (http://www.grainsurfboards.com/boards/body-surf/leaf-paipo/). Never got to it due to all the other projects around.
Now it seems like they beat me to it and just released the Sea Sled a few days ago (http://www.grainsurfboards.com/boards/body-surf/sea-sled/).

Wonder what you all think of this design an what might be a good thickness. I was thinking of putting in a single fin, so it needs at least the thickness to accommodate a finbox, unless if I go for FCS plugs.
A rough calculation gives me 9 pounds for 1 inch of thickness, just the wood no finish nor fin.


Thanx!

Those boys up in Maine do some great work. That Sea Sled looks like a pretty sweet ride.

It must be true that great minds think alike because I see MrMike written all over the nose of that board and the bottom runners bring Poobah's "sissy bars" to mind.

Very nice one MrMike. do you recall the thickness and weight on that one please?
While browsing through your blog I notice that we share the same nose/tailblock technique...

I'll drag myself into the hall and take a pic of one of my boards...

There it is (hopefully). I got plenty more but they're in the garage and no way I go out on crutches with half a meter of snow outside Smile.

CU.
