7'6" Hollow Surfboard

Using the Torsion Box method, Gary Bennett and Jim Banks have combined their talents to make this 7'6" Hollow Surfboard.
Designed to be surfed, this work in progress still needs it's finishing coat of fibreglass, then it can be put to the test in the water.

Materials: Sheoak, with Jarrah side rails and Silver Ash stringer and detail
