Nicely done Kiwi! That is an impressive wing design.
I like it when a good CNC setup and good plywood turn out like what you have done, with the layers of wood showing the curves in the work.

How much volume is in the 5'6"?

If you can stand on it you can learn on it.

A week from design to real world object. Pretty happy with it. Cut in 3 parts and glued together. The rebates near the tips are for carbon unis to strengthen the wing to tip joins.

Gonna be a big week, I really want to get it done for the holidays (5 days lol).

What a beautiful joyous solo session can do for the soul....
I am all for surfing with friends but they do distract from the elements.

Nice to hear you are still connecting to a core activity. And love the piled rocks.

80kg 5'5" beginner to intermediate and I can't do cut back yet

its a nice the board to look at and you can feel the quality on this board and its tough after a few knocks with without a scratche.

the rails are thin and it shows once your on any wave combine with the v tail and the glide is quick and responsive for a long and wide board.

I think its more high performance long board. I struggled to hang-ten at the nose because its so quick

Gear Talk / 2018 ECS Slab 7'11" x 28 3/4 review

80kg 5'5" beginner to intermediate and I can't do cut back yet

good package as it came with full carbon paddle and nice bag.

for a short board 7'11" x 28 3/4 it paddles well in/out of surf with parallel outline, wide nose & tail.
Its hard work on rough days but manageable.

I like thruster setup though quad setup somehow grippy and fast down the line.

its a nice design board and surfs well for a hack like me its shame about the board construction and material as I feel its poorly made.
