Paulownia

Have any of you guys had paulownia milled? I've got some trees on my property I plane to harvest this fall. I've heard it's easy to dry, dries fast, decay/pest resistance, and stable. Wasn't sure if there were any issues I need to look out for when processing the wood. 

I plan to make a surfboard and a paddleboard out of the lumber, supposed to be the perfect wood for these projects.

Yes, I know they were very expensive at one time. I remember hearing a news cast say men went into a park in Philadelphia with silencers on their chainsaws and stole a bunch of Royal Princess Trees, aka paulownia.

Do you ever get a chance to mill it or do you not bother with it now?
