Spent a couple of hours in the garage this evening.
I got the sanding done on Kalani's Wing Foiling board. I wetsanded it to 400 grit. I need to label it and get the clear coat on, then apply the deck pads and this one (#22) will be done.
And despite Tim saying "take your time" in fixing his HS1550 v1, he's been asking if it is done. I told him I did not even start working on it yet. Well - I figured I needed to start and get it out of the garage sooner than later so I got it sanded and the fill layer put on.
I'll sand this tomorrow and get the carbon overlay placed on it.
The other thing I did was contemplate the wing board I recently shaped. I think I want to chop the pointy nose off and go with a flat nose. I also want to see if I can get it short enough to fit in the 140cm bag I recently got. This board has more thickness in the back - I'm going to thin that out and give the back 18" a drop of 1/4" so the Kujiras don't need the shim. And I think I'm going to make the bottom deck edge chine a little more pronounced. After these changes, I think the only hard part will be figuring out where the foot strap inserts are going to go. I've been trying to get the 4'7" wing board foot straps lined up, but there has been a significant difference in weighting the board between GoFoil and Takuma.
We'll see.
