Winged Quad Fish


 My new board finished and ready to be surfed, just keeping my fingers crossed for some waves this weekend.


As usual with the boards I do for myself, it was a bit rushed and I forgot to sign it or put any dimensions on it. It's 6'2" down the stringer x 20" x 2 3/4.






I decided to experiment with using carbon fibre and discovered that it's quite tricky stuff.  I sandwiched it between 2 sheets of glass but when I started wetting it out it started to spread as you can see from the photo. 

Went with a Futures quad setup.  Still finding it tricky getting all the air bubbles out when glassing the Futures boxes in though.
