Old school balsa board. This thing was a beast.

Looks like a redwood longboard to me. They were coveted for their stability.
 
Not Redwood. Balsa covered with fibreglass cloth. Next came the shaped foam with fibreglass covering. Bad thing about balsa: If you got a ding, the board would suck up salt water like a sponge and turn the board into a submarine. I know: it happened to the one I''m holding.
 
It looks closer to a boat! :lol:

Great photo though. :)
