first hollow wood board help

Hey all, I'm planning on building a hollow wooden board this summer and I'm trying to figure out where to start.  I know Grain has kits but I don't think I will have the extra cash because I am looking to get a few other boards a head of a new longboard.  I have seen some hollow wooden surfboard manuals online but I dont know how reliable they are.   Where should I start?

Thanks!
