La Knocking it Out of the Ballpark!!!

I've been on a quest to get board bags that aren't too big for the foil boards I'm building and also can accommodate a foil set up on the board (and even a Foil Drive fully set up).

With board geometry changing so fast, it is really hard to find a board bag that meets all the requirements that I have.

But with La's sewing skills, I am able to modify bags that fit the boards well, to be able to accommodate the masts and Foil Drive.

And these Dakine Hybrids are reasonably priced to boot!!!

Garage Works - 11/2/2024

Here is the Ezzy all repaired (thanks La!!!)

That was fixed yesterday.

Today I reminded Marlon the Takuma foils are his now.  To make me feel better about him taking these out and using them without me around, I rounded off the shark teeth winglets.  I should have done this when I got these foils - now they are less likely to cut...

And I showed him how to set up the foil on the board - including the foil angle of incidence.

Then I went ahead and prepared the crushed wingtip on the SK8 950 for the carbon patch lamination.

I'll start laminating the different layers on to the wing tip tomorrow (when I also place epoxy into the longboard I'm fixing for Greg).

I don't mind doing this for other people - but I get frustrated when I have to do it on my own foils.

La is Fixing My Wings!!!

And the big event of the weekend for me was La feeling well - no lingering tinnitus or vertigo - and she was generous enough to fix my wings!!!  Here she is sewing on ripstop tape to repair the long rip on the 6.0

Awesome job La!!!  There was this 'L' rip, and a smaller patch on the other side.

And she also sewed the rip on the 5.2 that I got a couple weekends back.

The next day, she also sewed the worn stitches on the front end of the 5.2

All is now right in the universe!

Cover for No.19

La indulged me this afternoon by making a day cover for the new wing foiling board.  Two towels, some description of what was in my head and BAM!!!  Two hours later and there is a custom board cover where there wasn't one before!!!!

Perfect fit!!!  Super practical with the slot - helps to take off the cover and also accommodates the foil mast.  Mucho Mahalos La!!!
