Here's a small article I did a while ago.

I got a load of old election posters ( i stopped by the road when they were taking them down and asked it I could have them... they were only to happy to oblige), glued them together and shaped it into a surfboard. My idea was too use old bed sheets and some boat epoxy resin leftovers instead of fiber glass and epoxy glass resin but it didn't work too well. I later found why, I need to sand the deck and bottom of the board to provide grip. I'll try again as soon as I can get my hand on leftovers of resin.
