Hey bros.

whose on a mutant?
what type is it?
what do you like about it? what don't you like?
if you could have the perfect mutant what would it be?

PS i'm talking about kiteboards not disfigured women.

I'm thinking of building a kite specific 5'6" surfboard using "paulownia" wood. There are a few surfboard companies using this light hardwood, so I'm not completely mad. Good thing is, it's waterproof raw and doesn't need fibreglass to finish it. A coat of epoxy resin will do. The forums say it's nearly as light as foam/fibreglass boards as well.

Does anyone have any experience with this material or am I thinking too far outside the square?
