Building A Wood Pallet Surfboard

For this build, I wanted to challenge myself to build a surfboard with a single pallet. Wood pallets are easy to find and often free. So it's a great resource to experiment with even if the wood is terrible. This board ended up only being 3'3"x 16.5", more of a body board than a surfboard. I could have used more than one pallet to make it bigger however I wanted to test the waters and see if I could make something only using one pallet. Will it surf? who knows. If it does I know I can make something better using more than one pallet. Going with a sealer instead of glassing may cause some issues but I really wanted to make this as cheap as possible. If I need to I can always glass it in the future or make another board.
Tools and supplies I use:
Dewalt Rotary Sander: https://amzn.to/3SGzHjr
Porter-cable 6" random orbital: https://amzn.to/3WC8yj4
Cheap planer: https://amzn.to/3WX8Cek

Wow...that planer got a workout...you say "cheap"...that planer is worth it's weight in gold!
As mentioned by others, your video production is A1.
That...was a LOT of work my friend! Your dedication to a project is admirable.
Lepage should have sponsored you for this project...lol!
As with others, I am SO STOKED to see you surf this thing! Yeewww! 🤙
Cheers, John
So ive been watching some Japanese wood working stuff and seeing the long uniform shavings that come from their block planes i wondered if its possible to make a board from laminating those shavings. Just a wood laminated board i guess but maybe paper mache style, could even lightly mist a pile of wood shavings with something to form a rough blank.
Anyway look forward to seeing how that pallet surfs😊
