14' x 29"
features
'high nose' with minor nose turned down - has the ability to go through the bump ahead with out lifting or going under. the smaller nose turn and dihedral for when you do. lower dihedral makes it more managable in cross wind/swell/chop.
nose - piercing displacement into rounded into flat
remarkable stability- you can go for it more often
steerability from paddling position, turns well
edges at the tail
epoxy glass job with some carbon under deck pad for over all board stiffness
expected weight- should come in at under 12kgs with grip and fin.
hoping for low 11 kgs ish
and it wont be yellow
bottom glassed yesterday
top side today
the extra stands are used to hold the rocker true to the boards program file. a laser is used in this process
went with tinted blue, talk about quality. not to many tinted standups around and less dw boards. you can't hide bogging and faults with a tint job
Colour: Lacey's Blue.
Infact, you should give her a name.... "Lace Blue" ?! Plus a naming ceremony.... Easter Eggs are dirt cheap at the moment.... smash a chocolate egg on her.... (a Champagne bottle would only bring tears!).
PS - sweet board ! I want one.
Can't wait to see the board in action. It looks a treat Lacey. Did you put the carbon in on the deck pad? I just can't see the black that normally goes with it.
Nice choice Lacey. Its not like you ever wax up the deck so it will be well hidden under the grip can't wait for some more photos and some demo footage.
just came back from helping with the fin box. tape off, un sanded - weight 10.4 kg
expect to sand off 600 grams, but 300 back on with final coat and lose some weight again with finish sanding. wont protec the board if possible.
who knows, if i'm lucky griped up and finned it might at 11kgs.
now that would be fanastic for a 14' non carbon board
btw glassing is 4, 6 top and bottom with a 4 oz standing pad
cheers
Lacey how do you reckon it will compare to the 15'3 and your 14' with the foot wells? Both those boards are rockets!
Looks pretty sweet!
Wouldn't you want the carbon on the bottom to stop the boogie board/banana effect? Or ideally both sides?
I would have thought you would have more flex issues in that direction considering you are standing in
the middle of the board.
Ah cool so you did put it on the bottom as well.
MAN it looks really nice!
I know what you mean about the carbon and the thick edge.
I did carbon rails on a surf SUP I made and to get rid of that thick carbon edge I painted on a little resin on the rail and then
laid the carbon in position. I then went along both sides of the carbon tape and cut the edge off. I definitely helped, still
needed a good sand but the finish was perfect.
Let us know how the board goes once you get it dialled!
