This was my second attempt at building my own longboard. Not my greatest success, I admit. Or a success at all, for that matter.
I made the board with two 1/4" layers of Baltic birch plywood and laminated them together into a 1/2" thick piece. I then cut out my board shape from that. I was experimenting with a rocker shape. It didn't ride very well, so it lives on the wall for now.
On the plus side, this board will always be worth the 240 Baht that I glued to the bottom, then sealed over. (also an experiment with mixed results) Right now 1 US dollar is worth about 31 Thai bahts.
I'll be working on some more boards this summer. Chalk this one up as a learning experience.
