I inherited this large balsa surfboard. It was sitting in the back of a storage closet at my school's shop and I was told I can do what I like with it. Its 12' long 23" wide about 1.5" on the edge and almost 3" thick in the middle. The bad news is that the surface is in bad shape, niks, dents, scratches, nail holes, etc. I think that I can salvage it and maybe make a 9' or 10' long board, but I know very little about surfboard construction.
So I need some help and advice maybe some plans or templates. Any creekers out there with any surfboard experience? Right now I am wondering about the shape of the new board and how to fill dents if I have to.
Or should I cut this up and make gliders?
