CrAFtY

I made me a 10 feet canvas bag for my longboard for about 5,-. I sew the first time and the stitches are crap but it is strong enough to carry my board in it, and the stitches are inside so no one can see it :-)

!!DONE!!

Im done!
Not very good pictures, some better ones will follow






Things I will improve the next time:
-use a good squeege to avoid black stripes
-not using a windsurf blank
-shape in summer time
-not forget tail patch if i will do glass on fins
-10 or 8 oz Volan glass if I will do another longboard

But summary it was fun to build this Glider.

FiN

Set the fin today. Tomorrow I will finish the CAT GLIDER!

GloSSinG&SanDINg

Did the hot coat and the glossing the last couple days and also laminated the Paulownia fin and sanded the board today. Tomorrow or so i will wet sand it and put the fin on.
I like it!

ToPPEd

Glassed the deck today and put logo, painted from me, under the glass. Also it got a little resin colorjob.

BoTTOmUP

Have glassed the bottom with 6 oz hexcel today and did a free lap. The deck i will do tomorrow.

Spent the last days with shaping and party. Results are headache and a sweet looking pintail glider in 9´,4´´x 23´´x 3´´. It has very low entry rocker, a slight kicktail and 50/50 rails. Tried to make the best out of the windsurf Clark Foam blank. Tomorrow I start the glass job and will be working on my fin.

FoILinG

I started with my Longboard project and the first step was making a Fin. I cut out three templates. a Huck-Fin, a Flex-Fin inspire thing an a D-Fin. I started today foiling the Flex-Fin and it came out pretty well. The Huck and the Flex-Fin are made of Paulownia, the D-Fin is made out of an very old skateboard (posted a long time ago.
Im not finished yet but here is a preview!





If Im in Munich I will start to shape my Longboard. I have made a template with AKU Shaper. Have a look!
