Has anyone has experience with making a paulownia full wood board. Know surfers are doing them and they love the look and they are light and perform well. Wondering whether it would hold up to a mast track insertion and some wave or freeestyle pounding.

Any comments welcome. The blanks seem fairly cheap too and no fibre glassing required as i understand it. Although that is for surfing so may need some more strength. Early R+D days.. maybe just a pipe dream
