Guess I failed to mention that the fins will be glassed within a double layer of fiberglass cloth (as per instructions on www.hollowsurfboards.com) and epoxy resin (he uses polyurethane glue but I think marine epoxy should be just as good if not better).

Hopefully those added layers of lamination plus the fact that I used marine epoxy to glue the plywood to the polycarbonate will ensure that the center fin will not come apart when stressed :) .

The side stabilizer fins are constructed of two plywood layers laminated directly together, no polycarbonate layer sandwiched in between, since they do not need to flex.

Question: Why is it impossible to starve at the beach or desert?

Answer: Because you can eat all the sand which is there! (…sandwiches there) :lol:
