Paul Jensen just finished his latest board " Did the veneer bottom first…PSA it to the bottom ply…Built a
stringerless frame…Hot glued the plain ply deck to the frame …Reinforced the
inside plies with CF and glass tape…Poly U glued the bottom on…Rails per usual…"
Materials: 1/8” Meranti ply frame and skins…Scrap veneer on
the bottom…Store bought cork and 1/8” bending ply for the rails…Leftover glass
and resin…
"Considered making it finless but sought advice and followed
it…Plywood fins set up 7.5” toed in 0.5”…
Vented with a stainless underdeck vent…Nylon screw will seal
vent…Leash plug is mounted from the bombproof inside…
The planhape is a combo Greenough / Parmenter …I made a
thicker hollow balsa version six years ago and though I like that one, it felt
too thick for my local waves…Thicker and not enough rocker for our mostly
beachbreak waves…"
"So this board is significantly thinner with generous rocker…The
float isn’t all that critical with a bellyboard using fins for getting around…maybe
an advantage…As is the weight…Never gonna get vertical or bust-an-air, so the heavier
than foam weight should get me into
waves easier and diminish the chop effects…
That’s the theory, can’t wait to ride it…"
