nice, and yes, do tell, was it a foam or wood core?
Mine are mostly cedar strip with beefy epoxy or urethane rails, last twin tip was 134x42, 4 channels, 18oz skins, kind of heavy gloss coat, 2.7kg.
No doubt skinnier rails, lighter top coat and a little voodoo the build could lose 200-300g, even without using vacuum or lighter glass etc.
I'd love to try paulownia but it's costly as no one has it locally.
