General Discussion / San O Road Washout

« on: February 09, 2024, 07:41:15 PM »

It looks like SanO will have lighter crowds for a while. The road washout near the point. Most of the SUP or SUP Foil crowd are dialed in on the e-bike ride in. But lots of boomers will have their retirement day care interrupted for a while.

The Shape Shack / Jumbo Foil Mount Boxes

« on: October 19, 2021, 06:55:44 PM »

Hi,
I am helping to fix a SUP FOIL board. We wanted to install the new longer track boxes.
I have two choices
1. 15" long  Bahne box for $18.00 each https://fiberglasssource.com/collections/long-board-boxes/products/bahne-longboard-fin-box-15-black
or
Chinook's new 40.5 cm = 16" long box for $32.00 each they offer a 10" box for $18.90 so I guess the $32 is for one box.

I was planning on the "DW" install method of adding foam and a carbon fiber wrap so the boxes would extend to the deck of the board, like a tuttle box installation. I was thinking of 2 layers of carbon for the box wrap. Would it help to add a innegra layer on the box wrap?
Is the Bahne box a quality box? I understand the chinook is the best box but wow!! $$$$
