THE ORIGINAL AND MOST COMPLETE BOOK ON THE SUBJECT!
This book contains complete plans and instructions for building a modern, hollow wooden surfboard.
The book
shows you how to build 5 different surfboards.  It also shows you how to modify them to suit your own preferences.  
Make it longer, shorter, wider, thinner, pintail, squash tail, fish, gun, whatever!  There is even a section on how to
duplicate an existing surfboard. The book contains 80 pages with over 150 illustrations and is sent to you quickly via
email!  I am now offering full size paper spar templates that will be mailed to you for only $5.00 including shipping.

Now bigger and better than ever.  It covers everything you need to
know to build the four most popular boards:
9' 6" Longboard
7' 1" Funboard
5' 11" Shortboard
5' 8" Fish
Plus a section on building an 11' 11" hybrid (wood and foam)
Stand Up Paddleboard
There are also exact dimensions for all the ribs.

There is even a section on how to make a wooden copy of your favorite
foam board.
These are the two of the actual surfboards shown
being built in the book.  Everything you need to
know to build one of these boards or to design your
own.  Wait until you take it to the beach. You'll love
the ride - and all the attention!
This book is delivered as a PDF file sent
to your email address.  Why PDF?  
Printing a full color book is expensive
and you really don’t need a print of every
page anyway. Just print out the ones you
want and save money.  Plus, you can
zoom in on any of the high resolution
pictures to get all the detail.  And it doesn’
t matter if you have a Mac or PC, both
work just fine.
Of course the full size spar templates are
paper and will be delivered to you by the
US Postal Service.

The full size spar templates are traced from my master templates.  There are four spars as
shown: a  9' 6" longboard, a 7' 1" funboard, a 5' 11" shortboard, and the completely
redesigned 5' 8" fish.  Once you paste the paper onto a piece of wood and cut it out you'll
have your very own set too!  The nose, tail, and rib locations are clearly marked on each
template.  All the rib information including length and width is included in the book.  You
could make your own spar from the information in the book but these templates are
available to save you the work.  I am sending them for minimal cost anywhere in the world
but this offer is for a limited time only.  The catch is you can only buy the templates if you
buy the book.
KITS ARE NOW AVAILABLE!
Don't want to cut out your own frame and ribs?  Check out
the frame kits at  
www.woodsurfboardsupply.com  There are
several kits to choose from and more coming on line all the

machine that makes perfect parts every time.  The kit
includes a fully illustrated electronic manual that covers
building from start to finish.  It is superbly written and  
destined to be a classic...........OK, I wrote it for WSS.
