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. ![IMG_20190508_112518](https://foil.zone/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6d1ed9d1c466da8b67ce483faa3905e93378d0c6.jpeg) After doing the maths, thank you @SoEFoil ! > **[Boards for eFoil](https://foil.zone/t/boards-for-efoil/658/62)** > > Just a practical reminder from what I’ve read: V = Board volume. At the beginning, you need a board that floats (safer in case of failure and faster learning curve) = (your weight in kg + 30 litres) x 1.1 for board nose bevel compensation (1). ... 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! ![IMG_20190508_122312](https://foil.zone/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9f2271943dda55d067aaadbebf3c17bcf4f08e9d.jpeg) ![IMG_20190508_122248](https://foil.zone/uploads/default/original/2X/6/65c07778016b3ba5e98c6d6e36caeccc429c3d5e.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://foil.zone/t/build-from-england-80100-windsurf-conversion/4591)._
