Carbon efoil build. This is my second build the first one used a modified SUP board so decided to build my own board. Just finished all of the construction now onto the electronics. ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a4e03c85ee2c43f90b6265bd0ce8ee3f2f704ab4.jpeg) ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/a/abc8058a6bce9fa1dd0a58ae37447af6db8b0cc9.jpeg) ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/3/37f925f483b21a7b37cad4d8d2c4429ee1670743.jpeg) ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/9/978952b3d42b25145b73cfd440f8e2aa9e2680a0.jpeg) ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1719ad6308534ed2d3b94ee2e387666471765da4.jpeg) ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3d71e0cb7321c4957d9293a1a0c15b568f04fdbf.jpeg) ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/c/cc70354c4d860b79e9217ccd6349a73e6aef9ce5.jpeg) ![image](https://efoil.builders/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1ea8ad7df3c18ca6b01527657f32f5b8b9255aee.jpeg) ---

Nice with carbon! How is your mast/board assembly detail? Regards, Pablo ---

Very professional looking build. How many layers of cf, and type did you use? Stringers or hd foam? How many reinforcement layers for foil mount box and standing area/ lid? Many thanks! ---

Can you tell us more about the connectors you used, the big one with the bullets inside? ---

Hi there I used aluminium bar 40 x 10 that was drilled to refuse weight. The 2 alloy rails run from the mast (they were drilled and tapped to take the foil) to about 3/4 the way of the board. ---

It was 3 layers top and bottom of 200g carbon. It was vaccum bagged to keep the weight down and strength up. ---

Nice build. We build a (jet) board from carbon too. Looks nice, but when it’s a sunny day, the board (deck) gets really hot! Almost to hot to touch! We now have covered it with EVA mats :-/ ---

I made the connectors myself. They are made from nylon machined to take the connectors pictured below. The have oring grooves so are IP68 waterproof. ![image](https://foil.zone/uploads/default/original/3X/7/f/7f3ea1e5f6179539631426263c02b61444159417.jpeg) ---
