I ride a Delta (WA) kite wave board, traditional construction polyurethane and sun cure resin, custom from Marty, few years ago.
It is heavier than production epoxy.
The weight through the water / chop and riding waves has a connected feel (in not on the water).
More like a surfboard.
Spending more time sailing now than kiting these days.
Based on the above, yesterday I sailed my old 8'6" fibreglass custom sail / wave board (circa 1990).
We had 18 - 20knts.
The board is heavier and older in shape (Longer / Narrower) than 2020 sailboards.
I enjoyed it, found the extra weight sailed through the choppy water and driving through gybe's.
Anyone else using custom polyester or shaping wave boards.
Yep I'm old but years ago custom shapes and colours added to the rigging areas.

this is a thread idea from another forum I use that gets a lot of love so thought i'd start it here. Kind of a gear nerd thing to ooh and ahh over the latest stuff or vintage stuff or whatever you have recently acquired.


photos or it didn't happen.
