Yes, I'm making certain to be on the short list, should my buddy ever wish to part with it.
The milled planks and stringers are lightly glued/pinned together, the rough shaping done, and then it's disassembled for channelling (lightening). After weight is reduced, the pieces are carefully resined together, and finish shaping is performed. Still not as light as a foam board, but lightness has proven to be overrated in big surf.
