Now it’s time to join them to build the surfboard. Then draw the outline of a surfboard on a wrapping paper, it should be large enough to trace it later at the wooden base.

Once we have cut the silhouette paper, we are going to use it as a template to draw the surfboard on the pallet planks. Remember that it must be perfectly symmetrical.

The next step that you have to do is to cut the planks with the help of a jigsaw, following the drawn lines on the wooden pallet. We are going to do this process separately on the 3 wooden planks.

It’s very important to sand the joints in order to fit the wooden planks perfectly.
