Garage Works - 4/1/2023

I didn't surf the dawn patrol this morning - I was pretty congested and figured I could use some rest.  I actually did go to WPB early though - was trying to get Matt's board back to him, but it looks like he got busy with work.

I ended up talking with Tim, Dennis, Kalani and Roland about foils, surfboards and then this - the Foil Drive.


Will probably be designing a way to accommodate one of these on a SUP and a prone board... 


Then I sanded the two blanks I have on the rack.  First up was the long prone.




Then I took on the new 4'8"





This one did not have a stringer - so I had to mark the midpoint.  After lots of measuring (and even reshaping the nose as it was off), I got the location of the mast track reinforcement block marked out.  I was getting a little tired (I actually didn't surf in the morning so I could rest) so I didn't break out the router.


And for efficiency, I didn't want to take the router out until I got the block location marked out on the long prone.  According to the research I've done. this is where the tracks would go.  I'm still contemplating adding a second set of boxes (8" or another set of 10.75")



Once I decide on the box configuration, I'll rout (probably tomorrow).
