The Board!
I had access to an old, but very nice racing windsurf board. I think this will be perfect for a foil board as its got good volume. and is very strong as it used to handle a massive sail. As it turns out the skin is a carbon fiber, with other materials in the sandwiched on either side. I cannot tell you the details but a very solid and stupidly lite!
Made by a company called Drops - Pre-destruction.
After doing the maths, thank you @SoEFoil !
I used a simple plumb line to make my shape so it wasnt a straight edge or hand drawn curve. As you can see above.
The board has a natural camber to it so no worry here, and I off-set the top of board line, to the bottom of board. I cut through the surface layers along the offset lines with a Dremal, then used a long hack saw blade to go through the (EPS) core, using the surface cuts as a guide.
This gave it a bit of a lip on the front and back. Not perfect, but I may tidy it up when glassing.
I like the shape though, and the simple graphics will be copied over as a ‘nod’ to its past!
