Garage Works - 4/28/2023

I got home from work and was super tired (long week at work).  I took a short nap, then remembered I wanted to get No.30 finished up so I can try it out this weekend.

I ran it through the normal sanding regime - 40-80-120-180-220-400(ws).

Here's the finished product pre clear coat.



I'm happy with how this one came out!

I also sanded No.31 - but I could see a few pinholes that I need to fill around the vent plug and towards  the tail of the top deck.

I did go ahead and spray clear coat on the bottom and sides.  I'll get the small amount of epoxy on the deck tonight, then I'll do the final sanding tomorrow.



Then I went ahead and got No.30 all decked out.  Here it is with the deckpads installed, the leash cords on (and it is kinda setup to function as a handle... I'll have to dial this in more), and the vent plug in place.




Tomorrow before lunch there should be some light wind to go and test this out for winging out at Hickam.  I'm still debating if I want to bring this out on the dawn patrol and try to prone foil it... the tide is low at 0' and there are waves - might be a better longboarding day...
