I decided to share this project with you even though I didnt take any photos of its first steps ,Yet I am posting the photos of 90% of this project hoping this would be helpfull .
I used 3 sheet of ply wood to make the Skate body and pressed it with  weight to get it into Arc shape (as per first few photos).

I have also used a tin sheet metal from an old cabinet drawer to enforce the Kiteboard top and bottom .

Then I ran a 2" leafspring sheet on the bottom portion of the board tip to tip to work as a shock absorber.
