I've thought about making another skinny 4'10" (maybe 4'8") but with a little less thickness and volume - one with a little less float than the last one. I could add foot-strap inserts and start practicing aerials. I do have the foot-straps... But that would not make the most use of the blank.
Considering that last factor, I figured I should make a Winging board - something around 26" wide, straight parallel rails, thickness up and down the board, and handles on both the top and bottom decks. I could use the carbon tape along the stringer top and bottom and innegra for toughness (with cover sheets of fiberglass for sanding sanity). I could use d-cell sheets where I plan on putting my feet, and d-cell inserts for the foot-strap plugs and the foil tracks. All sounds good, but a 5'2" winging board is not for beginners and I don't even have a wing. So we'll see what ends up being next (might get another 10'10" polyurethane SUP blank - to split)
