Glass and foam





Glassing is ongoing in between the cold weather periods, should have pics of four fresh glassed boards soon, to fill the downtime void I dug out my vacuum pump and bag and got creative with carbon and lateral stringers with 1lbs EPS, great fun to mow foam again and got loads of ideas for some hybrid recycled foam/pvc SUPs and surfboards, love the research and development side of things and getting to try out all the stuff that spins around your mind just before you fall asleep, here are some pics of an 8' 4" fishy SUP board that has all those ideas in there somewhere, its huge volume should be enough for the whole family, just some R+D fun.The top pics showing the 3mm marine ply and 4oz lam top and bottom, then onto the EPS and into the bag, get a pull on for 7 hours, lay up the corecork rails and back in the bag for an hour, two more rail lams and should be done!!!...cheers all.
