Josh's board... almost done pics...

Very nice looking board so far, Mind if I pick your brain a bit.
What did you make the core from?
what material and how do plan on doing the rails?
what will your layup consist of?

Good luck, Kitespear.

Trade Secrets Huh?

Just trying to learn as much as I can about all that I can. I made a nice lightwind ply board, And now I would like to get into "real" board making. It's passes the time on these windless days and combines two of my loves, Kiteboarding and Art.

divinicell + fiberglass + carbon fiber cloth & epoxy resin, half bag vacuum method. Rails are cast and lighter than ABS.

Finally got some time to install the inserts yesterday, I'll probably have this board finished sometime this coming weekend.

Thanks Tom,

Would you be opposed to letting me watch you work sometime. The whole process is a bit confusing.

Top done, outline has not but cut out from flash yet. Top came out perfect!

You know the old saying, for repair work:

$25/hr flat rate
$50/hr if you call before it's done
$75/hr if you watch

I'm kidding, but if you are serious about making boards I can offer some help. Only do it if you have time and money to burn... (or you are completely obsessed with building things yourself at twice the price).

Looks kick ass Tom. 3 more and people will be wondering why they are paying 800 for other customs.
