nice work bro.

Wow. Just wow.

nice vid

What kind of wood are you using and what glue are you using boss..

did you make it out of birch ply or fir?

Nicely done, but back in 1984 we only had the jigsaw and the rest was done by hand! Oh I had a "cheesegrater" hand tool for bevelling before the sanding....... Oh yeah I also used a router drill bit sometimes to help with the bevel.....

Did you add a roundover to both sides of the plywood? Or just the front side?

Just the top of the board in this video, but we have experimented with diffrent method. Once we tried a small round over on the bottom and a larger round over on the top that met in the middle. That worked well, but it didn't make a huge difference. I'd say the only thing to watch out for is making the bottom edge too sharp, but that can be adjusted with sanding at anytime.

In 6ft tall and 130 pounds, what size skimboard measurements would be best for me?

In my experince different sizes can achieve diffrent levels of stability, but you can learn and have fun on just about any size. That being said I'm not a pro skimboarder, and I would recommend looking else where if you wnat the ideal recommended size.

qu'elle est l'essence de votre bois svp ? merci

Sorry to say that I drew the design by hand so I can't give you a pdf or anything. If you're truely intrested in the dimensions I could email you a photo with some measurements next to it. Also the method I used to draw the design was pretty simple: I folded a piece of paper in half and lightly skethed the curves until I found a shape I liked. Then I traced the sketch with a darker stroke, cut it out, and traced that onto the board. After that I cut one half of the board, and just to be thorough, I used the cutoff to trace the other side so it was perfectly symmetrical. Obviously, that is a pretty involved process, but it was worth it for the first board. ( I used it as a templet to make several others boards of the same dimmensions)

How mny cm is the plywood

@makeitall3898

1/2 inch, so 1.27 cm. We did this because the only widely avaible cheap option in out area was either 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch. I haven't got the chance to try but it might work better to go slightly less than 1/2 inch, but I think 1/4 too thin.
