While this task is still a bit off, what are the dimensions of the longboards you all have used to fair your hulls? I've found 4.5"x30" and 2.75"x16" boards. I think at a minimum I'd like the 30" for a flexible board and the 16" for a rigid board, although I can see the argument for making one of each. Of course I plan on making my own since they run about $60 on line!
If I glue velcro to the bottom to hold the paper, would I still need to add a pad?
I'd probably use 1/2 ply to make them (might use 3/8" ply for a 16" flexible board). Anything thinner seems too floppy, but I am curious what you all think.
I am sure all this stuff is online, but I get too many surfer sites when I search "longboard" and the results from "torture board" (yes, this is a correct, if aged, term) are not what I am looking for!
