Windsuping ? I don't get it how do you hold the sail thingy and the paddle at the same time ?

Geez the paddle becomes the tiller :)

Ando, what was the block you inserted? Conventionally Divinycell or Airex / Herex..... but it is white?

Mark, it's just foam from a snapped surfboard.

Whats the pink stuff? how did you come up with the balance position?
would it be sacrilidge to do it to my NAISH?

"Pink Stuff" is BOG,
Process goes something like this:
1. Mark out where the box is to be installed (I just used the old 5/8ths rule of thumb, then used a 10" box to give plently of options.
2. Route out the required space to place a higher density foam into.
3. Use Araldyte or similar to coat the polystyrene foam to create a bonding surface.
4. Set the high density foam into the hole using builders bog.
5. sand flat
6. route out space for mast box/fin box.
7. Fibrglass the box in.
8. Fibreglass over top.
9. Sand Flat
10. New Grip

Only problem is builders bog is polyester resin with thickeners added . Polyester resin eats styrofoam !

Siny, hence point 3...

Why not use Epoxy/Q Cell Bog and eliminate step 3?

Go for it, I was just using what I had lying around in the garage to make the project cheap.

So..... its been a while....any feedback on the project.
did it work? did it last? etc.
