I got Marlon's foil board repair completed this afternoon.
Sanded to 400, no spray to keep with the distressed look.
And then I headed deep into the garage to start the rocker cuts on No.42
Electric planer and shop vac -
I've been studying some of the leading DW SUP foiling boards and I am trying to take the design points from those to make this parawing specific board.
The desired characteristics are the same - a board that returns energy directed forward when you pump the board/foil. It also has to have sufficient volume to convert that energy efficiently in less wind (this is Oahu, not Maui).
This last photo is oriented with the bottom deck pointed upwards, nose to the left.
I'll use the surform and dragonskin next.
