Hey guys I just finished my first board,

135x39.5
slight rocker
10mm concave
Dcell H80 and Glass

Let me know what you guys think.

There are a few things that I will change next time, mainly and listen carefully....Inserts from Fiberglassupply.com SUCK, they say they are for kiteboards but are way to thick for a 1/2 dcell core.

It looks really small even on a 20 inch monitor.
Looks great but can you give bigger pictures?
Can't see any subtleties...
I agree on those inserts. I have some sitting in a box somewhere...

Nice looking first attempt.

Can I ask how you did the graphics?
is it a sublaminated top sheet or a cotton overlay or something completely different?

Thanks for the kind words,

ha,ha,The straps and pads were put on wrong but have since been changed

The graphics were done with cotton laminated tween the glass, I did have some dry spots in the top I think because the cotton drank too much resin, Is there a better maybe lighter material I can use such as silk or stain or polyester?

My next attempt will be a precured topsheet, One of the few questions I have however is do I let the top sheet completely cure or Just Gel before it goes on the layup? any help with this process will be greatly appreciated.....I have seen your topsheet work XS.

Thanks IN advance
