FAQ
Q: How much does a wooden surfboard board weigh?
A: Very comparable to a classic longboard. Usually around 20-25lbs
Q: What about dings and durability?
A: These boards are stiffer than a foam board BEFORE they even get glassed. After they get the standard 6oz glass coat the are very solid. Dings are more of a chip than an actual ding. They should be fixed as soon as possible as the wood will soak up water or worse yet, leak through a seam. They react just like foam boards, if they are neglected long enough it will lead to discoloration and delam, someimtes even warpage.
Q: What's that screw on the tail?
A: That is a small vent screw made of corrosion proof nylon. Since the board is hollow, the air inside will expand and contract when exposed to different temperatures. Leaving it open when not in use allows the board to breathe, close it while in use to keep the water out.
Q: They look nice, but how do they surf?
A: These boards paddle very well, you will notice that the board has a very solid feel. The 9-2 Cedarglide has classic rails so they never "hang up" in turns but doesn't supply alot of initial drive until you run up and hit the gas pedal. The closer you get to the nose the faster it goes!
Q: I would like to test drive one of your boards? Is that possible?
A: Absolutely! These are all that I surf anymore, so they are always in the water. We can swap boards in the water for a couple, as long as you know what you are doing and can stay out of the shorepound!
