What windsurfing things have you been doing during your Corona distancing/time out.
I've changed all my boom ropes.
Just sanded of my deck grip to re do the grip (board is 4yrs old) I'm not going to bother re doing the paint.

In the quest for planing in the lowest knots , I've decided to go out on a limb and put my ideas and money on an experiment . Call it a lock-down project .
My theory is to go long but not too wide , and short enough to fit in the car .
2.9 m long , 83 wide , no rocker 1.5 m from back . 10 mm flat V at front to 5 mm flat V to back . Hard square edges all the way except a little tuck at the front . No cutouts . Liters ? anyone's guess ? I know its going to be a bitch to turn , but it cant be worse than a RB.
All made without vacc bagging , Will combo wet out on bench and on board.
Its going to be big and voluminous but its going to be lighter than a RB .
Im going for toughness as its going to be used and abused a lot for those all to common 10 to 13 kt days.
Anyones prediction on end weight , and , will it work ?
Im taking one for the team.





6 mm balsa-wood stringer . I know its not normal , but i figure it will stiffen the long board and support the mast box and fin box .
Also makes the shaping much easier.
And , if your going to zoom in on the pic on the wall , hands off , she's mine !



Stringer to finished size and laminated with 4 oz glass both sides .



Finished and approved by ball chasing idiot !
325 gm.



Stringer glued between 17 kg EPS .
Ive only used 13 kg before , this stuff is a LOT harder . Way less spongy .
My theory , Because its so much harder ill use less glass under feet. ???
PS : a 250 mm long hot knife is strangely fun , kinda like a slo mo Light Sabre . Way less foam dust







All square at this stage , no V yet.
