(AKA Fixing your happy accidents) From TimelessSurfCompany.com~ “Nothing rides like a wooden board.” I have heard it many times from many people, most of which I wrote off as bias opinions from the folks who sell them. But as soon as I caught my first wave on a well designed wooden board, everything changed. Not only is the very sight of the board an inspiration to paddle out on an otherwise sloppy day, but the solid feel and drive as you run down the line begs you to never ride anything else. I have experimented with various shapes and materials to produce versatile boards that are responsive and easy to paddle, yet durable and beautiful enough to be a wall hanger. ~ From the Shaper See more finished boards on my website!

Plans are setup for 1/2″ spine and 1/8″ ribs, thicker or thinner woods can be used, simply adjust the slot width to your liking. Plans are glued to the wood of your choice by paste or white glue, and commonly cut out with a jigsaw or bandsaw. Timeless Surfboards are decked with 3/16″-1/4″ cedar or pine. Finished board should be vented or filled with foam before decking. The weight of finished shapes vary depending on the board size and materials used. You should expect about 12-15 lbs for smaller boards, about 20-25lbs for larger boards ** Balsa and other light woods have not been tested on this design and may be too soft to be structurally sound. Hard woods can be used with the compromise of weight. These shapes have been tried, tested and tweaked to make great shapes that work well, not just for looks. Pictured above is a snapshot from the actual blueprints, along with a few pics of boards that have been constructed using these plans. I am offering these plans at a very low price in order to make these projects more available to EVERYONE! Don’t let the low price fool you, this is a very well engineered design and shape that can be easily built with a little bit of patience and research. There is a good amount of very loose, barely ride-able plans available, but these are NOT one of those plans. I will be happy to answer all questions during the construction of your board.
