Epoxy sandwich construction in surfboards.


I completely had it with the fragility of polyester surfboards.
For us windsurfers it's just so difficult to keep the boards in a safe spot in the van, so much gear 
to take and not enough room.
So I started making surfboards the same as my windsufboards, and apart from the extra work I think it's totally worth it. The boards come out stronger, light
er and on top I can play around with the amount of flex the board has. I glass them up with one layer of S-glass on the bottom, two on the deck and then some extra carbon for reinforcement and of course to change the flex. So far I only made 4 but I'm really happy with the result. I wont stop now, it's just too much fun. The pictures are of a 6"4' and a 6"3' . More pictures coming soon.
