The 2.6kg 120x40, is that all setup with foil mount? Looks like you took the saw to it. Would like to see what it looks like. Price is about $300US and that just finless board. Don't see that as a cheap way to start and you don't get the design you want just a hack.

Its a tuttle man. A tuttle itself is about half a kilo. 6cm deep so you would need to build that thick board.
Sure, it was damaged and got it for free.

Convinced about the tuttle weight.
No, its finished board. With a strap as you see.
