Why Use Paulownia solid wood ?

If you aren’t familiar with paulownia .it’s a very sustainable,fast growing,soft wood .that’s a little heavier than balsa(295kgs/m3) but much strongger .it’s the wood of choice for Alaia’s because once its shaped and oiled.it doesn’t soak up salt water.we have some of the lightest paulownia around.In fact we’ve see balsa that is heavier than many of these planks.using paulownia on the deck and balsa on the botton it should be easy to build a wood surfboard that is as light as a foam board.
