And wouldn't it buckle a bit since the glass isn't as flexible as the foam. I don't see how the two very disimilar materials can stay together for very long.<BR/><BR/>ElyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-1164736550719970052006-11-28T07:55:00.000-10:002006-11-28T07:55:00.000-10:00Ask Sharon, she's been using it more than me, crui...Ask Sharon, she's been using it more than me, cruising around in Kanaha standing up with the paddle.<BR/>I only surfed it one hour, too little to tell. Thinner, lighter and more manouvrable than my 12.6, for sure. I don't think I like the single fin, though. I'm too used to the 2+1 which is key for keeping the grip of tail in the white water when longboard sailing. Maybe I'll add a couple of side fins too...<BR/><BR/>Your idea to glass slippahs on the deck of a board is brilliant... I may well do that!cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-1164732406358693542006-11-28T06:46:00.000-10:002006-11-28T06:46:00.000-10:00Interesting stuff - how is the dirty board for the...Interesting stuff - how is the dirty board for the dirty price? I like that. Here is a thought for your next glass job you should glass some slippahs onto the board as light foot straps!! that would be hysterical (they would have to be dirty cheap slippahs though!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-1164703731336436472006-11-27T22:48:00.000-10:002006-11-27T22:48:00.000-10:00Most of them are custom made with the mast track i...Most of them are custom made with the mast track in the original project. I just got a 12 footer for a dirty cheap price, though, and sure enough I'll put a mast track in it and sure enough it will make a few posts... <BR/>Ulli's router is going to be busy again. Hey Ulli, I bought a new bit that is perfect for mast and fin boxes!<BR/><BR/>Meesh, I forgot to answser to your question. The foam was not eaten by the heat. Jeffrey did a similar thing to a blue board that he had shaped like a windsurf board... so it was proven already that the foam would survive. Plus you don't have to leave the board in the sun for the resin to dry. Good point though, because the resin itself does generate heat when it reacts.<BR/>Hey, sailing was fun today. I enjoyed my footstraps! I love that I can have fun in all kind of conditions...cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-1164690301866818562006-11-27T19:05:00.000-10:002006-11-27T19:05:00.000-10:00cool. how about some info. on the other sailing lo...cool. how about some info. on the other sailing longboards a few posts ago. are these retrofits also or customs with mast tracks original? -mikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-1164684716644362082006-11-27T17:31:00.000-10:002006-11-27T17:31:00.000-10:00Thanks everybody for the appreciation.Today I trie...Thanks everybody for the appreciation.<BR/><BR/>Today I tried the board at Hookipa, but it was a bit too windy and I switched to my small wave board (5.5 sail) and had a lot of fun.<BR/>Big Blue didn't seem any faster at all, but I want to wait for the right conditions to express an opinion. Fore sure it's stronger, so it was worth it anyway. Without even mentioning the fun I had doing it.<BR/><BR/>I still have the slipper stuck to my foot. It's kind of convenient on the groud, but getting in the footstrap is quite difficult... :-)cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-1164684001172611982006-11-27T17:20:00.000-10:002006-11-27T17:20:00.000-10:00Nothing like a moron on "bended knee"--loved the c...Nothing like a moron on "bended knee"--loved the commentary, Sharon!
