Thanks. It came out a little heavier than I hoped, 13.5kg

I wouldn't worry too much about the weight. My boards are built on the heavy side and seem to go just fine. The only time I feel the extra weight is carrying it to the water. It looks like your board is made well. At least it won't fall apart and be fragile.

Hats off to you for this build!
From your initial post it sounded as if it was your first but now I think I was misled. Great craftsmanship and what's not to love about the looks?
Where in the Northern hemisphere are you frothing to try it the first time?

Thanks! It is my first build. I live near Saint Paul, Minnesota. It's currently -20 and will be for a while so it probably will be April before things thaw. I'm hoping by mid March I can drive south 1/2 day and find some open water.

Left alone with big fat Fanny, she was such a naughty nanny..

Looks like it rides very nicely
