I don't know anything about surfboards or the climate this will be used in - but aren't you concerned about condensate collecting inside the hollow chamber? I don't see any drain ports.

It’s all glassed so not really, but worst case I could drill a hole to let the condensate out and patch it

Beautiful! Really nice work! Any reason you didn’t foam core it? Have you had it out yet? +1

Shouldn’t be a need to since it’s been glassed

More about the buoyancy and longitudinal rigidity.

Yeah, I’m impressed. This would take me two bottles of adderall to finish. Great job and thanks for posting! I really want a picture with/of the fin!

#19 is that a different type of wood to hold the fin box? That piece down the middle seems a bit darker than the rest, and wondered if that's for hardness reasons, or esthetic reasons?

It was cedar and I used a router for the hole that the fin box went in

Have to be hardness, there's gonna be a lot of pressure on the fin box, especially when making a turn or running onto the sand. Really nice job so far.
