Hi everyone!

After my last build and feedback from the community (thanks to Damo, Robbie, Tom, Darwin crew, Melbourne crew and everyone I've forgotten:), the new board is here!

Here is the twist. Foot straps can be reversed to both side and fins can be moved or added.







When reversed the stance is slightly different and that's exactly what I wanted.

Mirror shine, sprayed one part varnish:



Weight 2767g before accessories:



Rails tapered at 45 degrees:



Added foam:



Carbon top sheet:





Rocker comparing with Nobile 555:




Much stiffer, not wobbly board like my original Shinai:





The board is made of bamboo and divinycell. It is 137x40.5cm, concave 3mm, rocker about 3cm (straight 1/3)...

It's on display at SOS in Fremantle. Thanks John!

And can't wait to build the next one:)

Cheers

Thanks Eppo!

Nice work! I want one!!!!! Great craftsmanship. Should ride as good as it looks.

wow. that is very professional. what thickness bamboo? 5mm? what thickness foam? are the second lot of plugs for different fin placement.

PS i'm feeling left behind with my lack of kiteboard building of late. I guess to be fair i've been building landboard and now another longboard skateboard for my oldest daughter.

Plummet,

5mm, foam 5mm as well, yes different fin placement! Strong as...

That's ok, the season just started, will be hard to build anything:)

Cheers

Wow!! Thats really nice, top job

Damn that a GREAT looking board - nice work!

PS: Straight to the pool room, but only after you make your next board

Cheers!

What will I do with so many boards? :))) To many coffee tables already!
