Garage Works - 2/19/2025

I was going to go Foil Drive-ing this afternoon, but I left my remote at my office.  So I took a short nap and then hit the garage to sand the repairs I have stacked.

First up was Norm's Code 1130 wingtip repairs.


Tops and bottoms faired in and ready for the fill coats.



Bottom tips



After dinner I'll get a fill coat on the top side.  Tomorrow I'll get the fill coat on the bottom side - and that will setup Friday for sanding the rebuilt tips and filling scratches.  Sanding the scratches will blend everything together.

I also sanded Marvin's board - should be good now, but I'll see if he is good with how the window is (some white spots).

After these are done I'll work on fixing No.33 (leak by the top deck handle - I've already opened up the layer that failed - just need to fill) and No.34 (sanding the repair to the top deck where a remote was contacting it - Kalani always finds the weaknesses in my boards).

And after that, I have been debating if No.41 will be a trench board or another No.37 (shorter flat deck).  If I had a hot wire to cut the foam blank evenly, I'd do the trench board in a heartbeat - but I don't and right now it seems like a ton of work for not much gain in efficiency.

Evening Session - 7/19/2024

Almost caught up -

This was yesterday's evening session.  I went on the same gear that I've been using lately (No.37/Spitfire 960/Skinny 365/PC Aluminum 80cm).

The waves had some chop on it again - pretty much the same as the day prior (I did not go on Thursday - watched Noe's concert instead).

Marvin, Robby and Kalani were out also.


Deep water/high tide launch again (nice) - waves were breaking closer inside.  Only spent 4% getting to the lineup.


Definitely choppy again.  Onshore sea breezes.  Swell was coming down in size.

But I still got some nice rides!!!


Tougher statistics today - 14 waves in the hour and a half session.  Directly related to the chop.


Kalani was demo-ing the Code 1130R.  When he was on a wave, he pretty much didn't even have to pump.  This foil has glide for days -
