Looks awesome.
Is there only one hole per fin? I think UG use to have one hole on top and two dimples on the bottom to secure fins. Is that what you are doing? I heard Josh doesn't even kite anymore. Maybe I should take that off your hands. |

Argh. Well I got lucky, the dig into the rail was actually pretty minor once I trimmed everything up and shaped the rails. Did not need to do any fixes.
Here are some better pics from a real camera (instead of a cell phone)... the top is not bumpy it's just how the carbon/kevlar looks because it's not perfectly straight lines... it's diagonal instead. |

@#$# I want to keep this board REAL BAD. But I am curious to see if Josh will ever break it (assuming he likes how it rides.. if not no big deal). I have serious doubts about it breaking. |

Well. It seems pretty obvious you can build a board now.
If you start to nail the flex patterns and get that dialed, I won't ever buy a board from anyone but you (seriously). Nailing the flex is probably 50% of how the board feels, I bet, in terms of pop, softness of landing, etc. What do other board makers say about that (flex idea) ? Looks awesome. |

Yes, but for the last time. I now have a better solution. Scott: Flex softer ride, better in chop, softer landings, softer pop. Stiffness, fast, a LOT of pop, will slip out in chop if overpowered. This board is on the stiff side. The tips came out a lot thicker than I had planned because of the thickness of layup, which made the board on the stiff side. Since Josh rides mostly flat water and does a lot of unhooked wakestyle tricks he will probably like the extra pop. Josh, Hey if not I honestly am not going to be hurt. I learned a lot of new tricks (and a few mistakes) making this board and it was a fun build. Besides it's a free board Fortunately I did not have to pay for the $70 piece of Kevlar/Carbon on the top of the board ... that was a gift from Bob. Forgot to add it has a lot of concave and very mild rocker. It's gonna be fast as hell. |

Plus the kevlar/carbon in this board completely destroyed my 1/4" router bit. |
