Cherry Inlay Kookumber

We recently did a 5'8 Kookumber with a Cherry wood inlay deck patch, and matching cherry fin.

Our friend, Arnaud, helped us out with the inlay part.

Currently on display here at the shop.

Kookumber Project #2

Kookumber Project Update.

- The Hollow Redwood Kookumber is in the glassing process. Greg Martz laminated it late last week.

- I passed off the chambered balsa blank to Griffin yesterday so he could finish shaping it. (Not before ensuring that the tail was at least 2 shakas wide)

Balsa Kookumber

I'm embarking on a new project. I want to build a kookumber in as many different surfboard constructions as I can. My Dad and I will be working together on this project, and probably Griffin at times as well. But since the kookumber is our most unique looking board (and one of my personal favorites), I want to explore and see how many different ways we can construct one.

We've already done plenty of them with regular foam and fiberglass. We just did a hollow redwood one. Now we're working on a chambered balsa one. Next maybe a recycled Marko EPS blank with entropy resin? Or a composite sandwich board? Only time will tell.

Here's the fully chambered balsa blank for new 5'4.
