Have you seen these balsa boards?
They are solid classic traditional boards.
They also make light strong eco friendly performance short boards and longboards - for example a 9 foot longboard can weigh 8kgs.

Holy crap that things long - how far out the back do you sit on it? how many blokes does it take to paddle it.

Lovely looking board
