A method for manufacturing bodyboards and surfboards and the article of
manufacture resulting therefrom. The method includes cutting a board form
a block to a predetermined shape and dimensions. For surfboards, a spine
member is longitudinally mounted between the two halves of the board.
Reinforcement members are mounted longitudinally and transversally along
the board blanks. Then, a sheath member is prepared and the block is
received therein when the former is expanded. Subsequently, the sheath is
contracted by cooling it down. The trapped air is flushed out and folds
eliminated.
