very nice…i’m really diggin’ the turtle…bravo.
Nice blank! Super job. Did you make the blank?
UncleD,
Yes I made the blank. I use 2# foam from 12’ x 4’ x 3’ blocks. The stringers are “surface stringers” and made from juniper. We have been using these stringers on the 12 footers and decided to use them on this board for looks.
Aloha,

I feel a rumble of the “D’s” coming on…
Hi Dave -
NICE!
How deep are the surface stringers? Is that a vent screw below the turtle logo?
John,
The surface stringers are a little less than 3/8" thick. The surface stringer idea came from Mike Eaton. Most of the ones we have done are 1-1/2" wide. The Nose and tail block finish them off at the ends. My friend did them on a SUP fish and used a block of balsa between the top and bottom stringer in the but crack. It looked very nice. Yes that is a Chinook vent near the tail. Been thinking about trying to come up with some GoreTex to use with it.
