hi guys!
i want to make a board myself, but i can't find any good blueprints or exact plans of boards. I've tried surfing on waves with my windsurfing wave board, and now i want a real surf board. but i spend all my money for windsurfing and cant afford to buy a surf board. so maybe anyone was or knows were to get exact board plans with dimentions, bending radiuses and all other details...

Buying a second hand surfboard will be way cheaper than buying all the stuff required to make yourself a board seeing as you spend all yuor money on windsurfing kit.
Its possible to pick up surfboards very cheaply these days.
But if you really want to build your own surfboard there is heaps of infomation on the net.

I suggest you have a read first before you get bogged down with thoughts of plans, blue prints and bending radius's for surfboards as they just aren't made that way. A few basic dimensions yes and a bendy piece of wood is all you need to get your first shape.

no, it will be way cheaper to make it my self. we are repairing windsurfing boards, so we have all materials needed... and ill use some old fins... so i just need a shape :) but that link was really healpfull, thanx...
besides, it's much more fun to make your own board than just buy it..

if anyone got some more please share...
