Hollow wooden surfboard build - Part 2: The Rails, Deck Skin, Tail & Nose block

Welcome back to Part 2 of building my custom hollow wooden surfboard. In this episode, the board really starts taking its final shape. Working with Paulownia wood has been an amazing experience. To create the curve of the rails, I used steam-bent wood strips. Just like in Part 1, I filmed everything with my new camera setup in full 4K, capturing all the detailed woodworking, sanding, and cinematic angles.
