i have seen and raced against this S&G surf ski
http://www.surfski.info/latest-news/item/158-wood-ski-%E2%80%93-stephen-kellys-been-at-it-again.html

It is long and thin like all fast skis and without the extra deck of a kayak much more fragile. He used 3mm and taped the seams only. Don't know what he meant by an internal timber frame. If I ever see him again I wiil ask. Paul Wilson might see this thread and jump in. He has built some very light S&G kayaks.
