Steve is a mate of mine, he makes sensational wooden boards. A little older than Yr9 though!
He recently copied the template of a Taj FW and managed to get it lighter and stronger using Paulownia. I'm pretty keen to get him to do a run of my 5'4 Motorboat.
Anyhow, I'll let him know about this thread, he does take orders.
If year 9 (or 12, don't remember) can make this, we have a bright future :)

In January 2012 I was told there will be a course in making this.
Nice...
