Unfortunately not.
We want to build it with companys but because of codvid it wansnt really possible to go on with the project.
We try to finish in the next weeks but at the moment it seems that the costs for laminating the board are to high.
if you want to use your old windsurfer or inflatable SUP this new āESC waterproof boxā might be helpful to your build and advantage you can swap to different boards as well very easilyā¦ + all new wingfoil boards have perfect size to use them as well as efoil and just swapping the mast to an e-foil mast and adding a battery;-)
Concerning epoxies at temperatures below 15C; the epoxies iāve worked with crystallise below 15C, working or storing temperatures should therefore not be below this.
You can see it as cloudy or milky appearance if the epoxy has been to cold. It wonāt cure well if this is the case. The crystals can be dissolved by heating the epoxy.
The epoxy company closest to me actually ship by special transport during winter to keep their product at itās best.
Yup! I second thatā¦from bad experience!
Iām looking for some help deciding on which old board to buy for my build. A few options I am considering are below, but not sure on thickness for battery compartment and electronics. I am a pretty balanced rider, and looking for something with maneuverability. Here are a few I have come across. Any feedback? Or other ideas on where to find a good used board for my build?

I doubt these board will have a enough thickness to integrate a waterproof compartment! You could probably use these board with a waterproof case on top of the board but this is not ideal! Iād look into old kite race board which are usually thicker and built strong. Otherwise, you can always build one from scratch!
Look at the windance board, at 76L iād bet itās pretty thick since it looks short. Iād think windsurf boards all need to be a bit thick since theyāre for standing, also with added sail weight.
Thanks! I have been trying to find good sites for used kiteboards, but havent come up with a ton. I did find a K-race 70 on Ebay but around $600 USD after shippingā¦ I did reference Pacificmeisters chart of old kiteboards for a starting place but having a hard time finding where to buyā¦
Yes, old race kiteboards are hard to find! I was lucky and found a great one for my first built. However, Iād suggest to carefully plan your mods (foil mount, compartment, etc.) Because these boards are usually heavier than standard surfboards and if you start adding wood and metal to it, you will quickly make it a lot heavier! Why do you want to modify an old race kiteboards? Save time or money or both?

@Vicdes2 Which board did you find for your first build? I like the K-race because forum members have proven that it can fit a waterproof compartment. I dont really want to build my own because of the time it would take and I dont have any experience shaping or building a board! Iām very open to suggestions on finding my board. Iāll be going with a gong allvator foil.
I used a carbrinha 188cm vmg carbon kite race board!
The compartment was just tall enough to fit amy 18650 pack! This board is really tough and dent proof
@vicdes2 i found this 2011 Cabrinha 183 cm board below for a decent price. Its so hard to tell though if it will be thick enough - itās only 58 liters according to the registered boards sheet that PM shared a while back.
This one has been for sale! You could probably get it for much cheaper! Iām in Miami and saw it two years ago when I was shopping for one! I paid less than 300$ for mine and it was brand new! Mine was 78L I think so this one might be a bit thinner! Keep looking!
@Flying_Rodeo
Are you still selling your boards to the public. If so, how do I make a purchase. I am wanting to buy a 135cm board only.
I have emailed you and contacted you via facebook messenger, but I am yet to receive a response. If youāre able to help me, that would be great .
@rogjalon, he wrote me in the beginning of the year that the boards are sold out until Augustā¦
So I guess weāre left with building our own

Iād be happy to wait.
@Flying_Rodeo
Can you confirm the above please. Is it possible to go on the waiting list for when the boards are back in stock.
Hi, can you do a CAD design to enable me to have a male mould CNC cut to enable me to manufacture the board from clear coat carbon? Sorry to trouble you if you are no longer involved. With thanks and kind regards, Mike
