need to make a simple tow board to be pulled behind a sailboat, for when we are with dolphins.(with and without camera).
Pictures or drawings would be great.
Thanks
You might inquire with the spearfishermen. They have more experience with paddle boards and tow boards than anybody. Possible resources would be Spearboard.com and Deeperblue.com.

I just got this off of Craig's List. They guy I got it from put hundreds of hours on it. Originally all fiberglass but cracked. It is repaired with plywood that has been glassed over.
After seeing the movie, "Sharks' Treasure" I made a nice tow board out of 3/4" plywood. About 2' wide 1' long. 45 degree cut or round off the leading edge corners. Drill two holes at the ends for the yoke shaped tow rope. Three oval slots for your hands; one each near the edges, one in the middle so you can go one handed. You might also want to attach an extra length of line with a cut off broom handle that you "sit" on to ease the pressure off your hands.
Get plenty of practice with just a mask and snorkel before moving on to scuba as the rate of ascent can catch you by surprise.
