From Scientific American
DO IT YOURSELF! There's a new book, Maui Boardbuilding & Repair by Bill Walters, that describes step by step how to construct and repair sailboards.
When Walters, an avid sailor living on Maui, decided to build his own board, he couldn't find any suitable books on the subject. So he knocked on the door of virtually every boardbuilding factory on the island and learned for himself the techniques of the pros.
According to the publisher, photos and tip from the pros including Ed Angulo, Dave Daly, Richard Greene, Jimmy Lewis, Dave Mel, Rick Naish, and Dennis Parton give readers the confidence to repair dings, replace broken fin boxes, and solve most repair problems.
