Cardboard Surfboards - Mike Sheldrake's Home Creation (GALLERY)

Mike Sheldrake is not a designer or someone with any surfboard building trade skills, but he built his own surfboard anyway. Sheldrake turned to the internet for research and came up with a 3-D modeling software to design a snap together, hollow model with intersecting ribs for a cardboard-core surfboard made out of paper-corrugated slats wrapped in fiberglass cloth hardened with epoxy resin.

Pretty daring and unconventional.

The board’s frame contains nearly 400 corrugated-paper slats precisely cut by a computer-controlled saw. The slats intersect at interlocking notches, forming a pattern of triangles and hexagons that provides strength by evenly dispersing force throughout the board. Sheldrake makes it watertight by wrapping it in fiberglass cloth hardened with epoxy resin (similar to traditional boards). (popsci)
