DIY Plywood Keels - Fin Friday

In this Fin Friday, I build a plywood keel set of surfboard fins. For this set of homemade fins, I decided to give thicker plywood a try to compare it to the thinner keels I made with the same outline. The build of the fins is plywood glassed with epoxy and two layers of 6oz fibreglass on each side of the fin. This should make for a really solid and stiff keel set, that will be interesting to compare to my other keels.

Fin Friday is a series I will be doing where I build various types of surfboard fins from different materials. Some fins will be experimental and some will be more standard. The fins will be made mostly from wood but I'll try to make some fins more experimental materials to use. Videos are posted on Fridays, might be every Friday or every other, will depend on how much time I've had to film and edit the process.
