Still on track! I'm realy keen to get it done by early next week as I will only have a week to test it before a 10 day trip to Florida. Got the bottom glassed this eve, went for a bit of a different layup to keep the nose light and the strength around the foil and still fairly stiff. Will do a full coat later tonight then get on to the deck tomorow eve.

That wide squared off tail looks like it will jump on plane really well.  It reminds me a bit of the tail on my Jav which surfs like a Simmons shape.

I was wondering why Kai's tail has its corners clipped and can only imagine that it's to reduce the effect of drag when the tail dips down.

Deck laminated this eve and poped the fin box of the mould, unfortunately my tolerances were a bit tight and I think I may need to ether do anouther or maybe modify it a bit.

Dude, get over to cocoa beach and see DW. The Zone builders chain will grow another link.

Also, looks like I'll be adding more UK trips soon so expect to have to get in the water with me. I have to ride that foil!

Finbox chopped in half and re done lucaly it was a nice quick fix, ghetto post cure on the dash board of the van in a black bag. Fill coat sanded and started to install the foil box.
