Finish my new board couple months ago thought i give u guys a look.
8 x 27 x 3,7/8 , 6.3kg complete with fins and grip (fins and deck grip weight 900grams)
6oz e glass + 2oz inngera bottom, 6 + 2 innegra + 2 deck patches 4oz on deck ,using H grade styrene and kinetics epoxy , i vacuum bag this board for first time ( that was another curve - but worked well)
seems to be holding up well however couple small impact dents and small heal depressions on deck ,bottom is fine
i thinned out the tail and volume in rails .volume iam guessing approx 85ltrs
Handles bigger waves really well and still quite fast and manoeuvrable in small stuff , stability wise -pretty good iam 70 kg

Hi mate,

Can I email you buddy in relation to the build. I wouldnt mind picking your brain on the method as I really want to make a sup as a joint project with my son.

cheers for any help Ozzie

Hi mate,

Thanks for that. I will endeavour to touch base with you over the weekend. Awesome job mate. If I do half the job you have done then I shall be incredibly happy with that outcome.

Cheers Ozzie

Hey skebstebamal
Yeh mate still got the 7,10 quad thought I would still ride it but I don't think so as the new board rips and don't think I could go back to 30 wide however it was a good board up to 4 ft then it was too hard to control at speed , the new board seems to handle anything
Just tried it today with a small rear fin about 90 mm deep off memory and it went really well loosened it up but still held on
