You don't ride the million dollar surfboard. The million dollar surfboard rides you.

this has got me thinking of how to make the cheapest surf board possible (as close to free as you can get) and then of course a surf off between the cheapest and the most expensive boards in the world.

i was thinking chambered recycled cardboard, but i need some sort of free fabric to cover it, maybe old rice bags or something like that.

It's not the materials that make it expensive, he uses wood, you know, from trees.

The rest of the surfboard industry rely on space age-ed high density foams and chemistry experiment glassing. Both of which are awful for the environment, and our health.

I'm all about wooden boards, just not for $500000. I couldn't care less about the flex and displacement tails etc,
