FrankenFoil
outcast:
In part spurred on by this forum, and in part as a foil exploration i converted an old kids sup into Frankenfoil.
Design was for mostly wavefoil sailing / sup....The board was just lying around....now my kids just borrow mine, and that board really was never right for them anyway
Too much rocker, but i knew i could paddle it, and up haul it
outcast:
I cut off the tail...flattened the rocker, dropped in boxes, and vac wrapped it in carbon
outcast:
Like most recycling projects, i saved nothing environmentally, and new build would have been cheaper lighter and easier...but maybe not as fun...buying one off the rack would have been the smartest play
Design parameters have been met...5'10...wide enough to uphaul , and paddle I plan for it to be a wind wave thing with 60% sail/30% paddle/10 tow
It did come in heavier than i would prefer, but the kids sup weighed too much to begin with
PonoBill:
Buying off the rack give a tiny burst of pleasure that fades faster than a popcorn fart. That's a nice design, well done.
My last "peel off the old glass and make it new" effort is going to wind up guarding the gate at my shop. I like looking at it.

Backing this 100%. And you can’t buy the fun of building crazy projects.
