A surfing board and method for manufacture that include the cutting and bending of a buoyant material to a flat arch with a concave upperside and a convex underside to define an elongated body. T-shaped longitudinal cutouts extend from one end to the other along the upperside and underside, respectively. The T-shaped longitudinal cutouts are kept at a substantially parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other with the vertical leg of the T-shaped cutouts coplanarly disposed opposite to each other and the crossed legs of the T-shaped cutouts substantially flush with the upperside and underside, respectively. Two elongated reinforcement core members are longitudinally coextensive with the body and being mounted within, and conforming to, the cutouts that are kept at a substantially parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other. A predetermined degree of calibrated rigidity is given to the body conveying to a surfer the right combination of support and maneuverability of the board. A cover film to provide a substantially smooth surface for said body and exposed core members is applied.
