Nose Job on a foilboard

[jondrums]

To quote Clamsmasher on another foil forum:
"I’d had a few drinks, I noticed the hacksaw trying to get my attention from across the bar, tryed to ignore her..but the jungle drums were beating and we both woke up feeling used."



So, yeah, I cut about 6" off my 7' dwight board.  The paddling balance point was always a bit further forward than the foil balance point, so I figured let's move things back a bit.  Also hoping to reduce the swing weight.  Oh, and the nose was taking on water anyway.



Did some shaping with my new Bosch dual mode rotary orbital sanding (seems to be a direct competitor to the Festool Rotex 150, and perhaps a bit better - certainly cheaper!).  Next up is some epoxy filler and lots more sanding to clean up the transitions between old skin and foam.

So, I'm thinking about 2 layers of 4oz glass top and bottom faired on the existing innegra skins.  Any opinions?

Nice work, man.

Dwight, do NOT look at this thread. Haha.

I’d say 2 x 6 Oz just to be safe.
