Soooo.... a 28 year addiction to the wind has led me to build my first windsurf board. I have had a boom in my hands for close to 15 years when I got into kitesurfing but the bug is still in me it seems. I have shaped the odd longboard and a kiteboard but now I want to try my hand at vacuum sandwich tech.

This one is based on the JP xcite ride 135L. 77cm wide and 252cm long.

I had the side profiles cnc'd and then screwed them onto the EPS block..... hotwired the profile and then used the top profile to trace the shape. Then carefully cut away from the line with a jigsaw an then freed the last bits with a long handsaw.










Start to work in a 2.5mm VEE and then a slight concave from near the nose to the widepoint to help absorb chop.

Concave and VEE in nose area.





Who'd have thought catfood could be so handy???
