I was walking the dog the other morning when I came across a pile of lumber most it was junk fur and pine and some cedar strips at the bottom of the pile was a 12' x 7" x 1" oak plank. I took the cedar strips and the oak plank you may have guess I am makeing another board out of the oak. something I been thinking I like to make for a long time but didn't want to wast good lumber on it. so I will use this oak on it. it was FREE!!!!!!!! so I will call this board my free board. I will send pic's some time this week MRMIKE  _________________ PAIPO ON

here are the pic's. The idea of this board was like a long water ski with a wider back when you get going fast you can get up on the nose. we will see how it works if we get surf this week MIKE

the board is 5'5" long 5" at the nose and 14" at the tail. a little on the heavy side because it is oak but the weight is still a lot less than a HPD MRMIKE  _________________ PAIPO ON
