Lord Board?

anyone make one of these on here?  every time i go to home depot, I get the urge to get some closed cell foam to make one but I don't know the dimensions.  i'm itching to make one and take  it out!

Do you mean one the slabs those kids are riding or do you mean like the one pictured below?  The one below is straight out of the Lindsey Lord "Naval Architecture of Planing Hulls" book.  I don't remember seeing one of the novelty slabs in the book. 

Check the pic and then take a look at the Swaylock's resources link of one of Dale Solomonson's bellyboards and realize that he (Dale) was on to this whole thing a long time ago... like 1984(?)  Of course, he was 'on to it' on an entirely different and more highly refined level.

there is an article about these boards in a recent “the surfers journal”. its pretty extensive but i think they said the dimensions are around 5’6"x 23"x3

You’ll find photos like in the TSJ article in Chapter 2 (‘Aspect Ratio’) of Lord’s book. For a source see: http://e-j-m.com/lord-book.html
