Cheap nasty board build advice please.
G'day everyone
I havn't had a good session in four weeks and there doesn't seem to be any wind for another one so after swearing to sell all my gear I have now decided to build a board instead.
The aim is to make it cheap nasty and awesome, is there any reason I can't just rip a polyester/coremat mold off my 145×48lightwind board then lay up the centre 138×40 on the mold with a freerideish outline.
As for layup I'm thinking 300g biax bottom/6mm corecell/300g biax with some kind of strip stringer down the centre maybe 4inch heavy carbon unidirec tape.
Add some 4×19mm alley inserts anchor points for footpads and come up with an idea for edges maybe dremil/router out the core along the edges 4mm in and fill with cotton flock paste.
For resin thinking epoxy but have no idea on brand as I've been out of the game for ages.
Please any advice would be great, have no experience building boards but in a previous life was a foreman for a surfski manufacture company, aswell I don't want to vacume bag if I don't have to (I don't want to shell out for pump so will be pomping with my kite pump on reverse if I need to get the core down).
The target result is somewhere between plummets exceptional carbon mutant and tophats plank that he found on the beach.
Any advice welcome but would love to hear thoughts on layup and what would be better more or less stiffness for sloppy/choppy onshore conditions to go easy upwind. Cheers for the help
