Some solid wood surfboards I've been cutting at work. The blanks are made from red cedar that was used in the fermentation tanks from some northern California winery. The wine has given the wood a nice deep red stain (and smell!) The blanks weigh in at about 100 lbs, the cut board about 70 lbs. The blanks have been just tack-glued together, and after I cut them they'll be broken apart, hollowed out and glued back together to be finish-shaped. The finished board (with fins and fiberglass/resin coat) will probably weigh about 30 lbs. Still heavy but definately surfable. Of course these things will probably never see the water, but still, it would be possible.
