7'4 x 26.5" Finished !

[supuk]

here she is just shaped this for a friend 7'4 x 26.5" single concave in hot pink weighing in at 4.8kg glassed with double 6 top and bottom with 6oz deck patch.
Im hoping there is just enough foam there to float me to try it but i have a feeling that i may be sinking a little too much on this one!

What a beaut!  Man you turn these boards out quick!  And by the way, loved the hot wire cutter, may make one for myself. Thanks for posting all your great projects.  Good work!

Nice looking board.  Can I assume that is all carbon and no glass?  Did you vac bag it?  So light it's insane.

[Ucycle]

did you paint the rail and pink deck? you got to report back when you have couple more session on it.

[supuk]

cheers many thanks it is all 6oz e glass no carbon, i gave it a black base coat then masked the rails did the pink and then lastly the art work on top followed by a clear coat.

Beautiful! I don't think I could even paddle that on a glassy day. Did you vacuum bag it?

[supuk]

No just a standard wet layup hoping to do some vacuum stuf soon!

[magentawave]

I'm amazed you were able to get it so light without bagging it! What weight was the foam and specifically what did you do to keep the weight down? I guess the fact that its only 7'-4" and 26.5" wide helped a lot to keep it light.

No just a standard wet layup hoping to do some vacuum stuf soon!

Man, that's shorter and only about six inches or so wider than my step up prone board.  Can't wait to see what happens when you get out on it.  Go shred.

[Ucycle]

how did you get the layup so light? wetout table? #1.5 stringerless? And whats is the volume?

[supuk]

It supposed to be 1.5 foam but think it measures more like 1.3 no wet out table just a plain wet layup and being Carefull with the resin and yes it is stringer less. It should be about 80l. The teenager it's for should get it this weekend, if I get any pics of him on it I will post them up.

[crtraveler]

it's a little too big for me.....

No Really, Nice looking board... how much does the intended rider weigh?

[supuk]

60kg

just been sent the first few pics of the 7'4 in action apparently it was a really sloopy 1' but he was so stoked he couldn't wait to get on it, he didnt even wait to get a tail pad on the thing! looking forward to seeing it in some proper waves!

I was in france last week and managed to get a quick paddle on the board, i throw the board down and jumped on fully expecting it to sink strait away but to my surprise it su 8)pported my 72kg very easily and actually felt quite stable and paddled very easily so much so i think there may be another board being added to my own quiver very soon!
