Winter starts tomorrow in the USA ; Any COOL boards in the works ?
I'm building a copy of a 135 with quad concave bottom ; stole a,(PFP) mold off
the bottom of a buddy's board while he was at work ! Smallest board I'll
have ever ridden ; but was told :"it's time" !!
This one I'll make with 7/16 inch thick, (1/8" cell) NOMEX HONEYCOMB, in the
center and 1/8 inch thick on both tips. Was told this original board was
stiff as hell, so thinning up the core should give some Flex.
Will try a different lay-up on this one, lots of 50K Carbon Tow running length-wise
on the convex peaks of the bottom, but no carbon weave in the skins ; i want to
see-through the board so i'll lightly color-tint the Epoxy and use S-glass on all
the concave-s.
I want it to flex a Little in the length, but a Lot in the Twist ; so the Carbon tow
will take care of the length-wise flex and the S-glass will be laid-up (+ - 90).
Each of the carbon spars will be wrapped with 5.5oz carbon weave,(+ - 45)
to turn them into a spar of sort,and reduce the likely-hood of a De-lam in the skins.
The HONEYCOMB is only 1.5-zo/cubic foot, & ya can drive a car over it once a
skin is applied !! Suppose to be water-proof as well, but we'll see.
Never tried this lay-up before so i'll let Ya know how it goes ...
What You Guys got going ??
