Re: Clamping ABS rails in place when bonding!

Has anyone any tips for clamping ABS rails in place whilst bonding them to the core!? i`m having a nightmare - had tried tape but its extremely fiddly. Is there a better way? Also, do you cut the rail in the shape of the rocker so that it fits better? I`ve cut mine straight and then tried to bend i...

Re: 140x44cm lightwind board from ash tree core

I tried my new board for second time yesterday.

Mostly I trained for going upwind, because I want to take part in kiteboarding marathon ...

Re: 140x44cm lightwind board from ash tree core

:thumb: wow! Nice looking board! Did you weight it without accesories? It is easyer to compare it. How did you apply the PVC rails? Is it just bond to the wooden rail and then laminated with fiberglass? (the lighter edge seen on pictures) What kind of inserts did you use for this thin board? p.s.: ...
