Excuse me if my pidgin is a little rusty, but I named it "Fas Kine" because I made it in a hurry so I could take it on a backpack camping trip (in case there were waves - which there weren't).

It's an old poplar shelf from an architectural salvage shop. I cut it in half, used a piece of mahogany veneer for the stringer when gluing the pieces up, then put a piece of 1/4 inch luan ply across the top for strength.

I used epoxy for the glue-ups and for the finish. I wanted a good durable watertight seal, since I think the materials would come right apart if water gets into them.

It's about 15" wide 20" long and 7/8" thick.

I might get to try it out today.

MrMike, thanks for clarifying. I wasn't exactly sure if that's what I should call it.

Fresh water sand-bar breaks in Lake Michigan. I took it out into some 2 to 4 foot action yesterday. It handles well, but I didn't have any fins so I couldn't charge too hard with it.

Unfortunately, someone walked off with it. I left it on the sand while I was out on my longboard. I guess it's my fault for leaving it there instead of walking it back to my car. I put an ad out on Craigslist. I'm not too worried, just curious if it will ever turn up since it is the ONLY one like it.

Luckily I made a decent cardboard template this time!

Hope the board turns up. I asked where you were because I saw the saw your location but was surprised by the board photos with sand and grass, that looked like a beach anywhere else. I thought you might have had a more rocky shoreline.

Look forward to seeing the next board and maybe some shots of it in action.

Somehow I missed these last posts until now. We have areas that are almost all sand, and some spots that are rocky and a whole lot that are a mix. Usually pea to golfball size rocks. Our best places for waves are near the piers (which are technically jetties) because more sand builds up and when we get a windswell from the right direction the waves peel off down the sand bar pretty well.
