i dont know what the difference btwn flatland and normal is but the ones i am going to build will resemble "zap" boards. it's actually not too difficult if you have the right supplies

I hear making boards is hard. don't just make it look like a zap pro or something. check out the boomhower, or better yet, download their catalog and look through it. Are you glassing one or is it just wood?

I need to go skim, finally got a wetsuit. I have an Apex.
