For my comeback to sway a little build thread.
Will be a one month process, working on it when i have time.
The board is 5’7x20"x2"1/2 fishy swallow, it’ll be use mostly as strapless kitesurf, possibly strapped too and a bit as surfboard. Light weight guy.
That start with blank hotwired cut in 1.5eps
Then i cut a groove in bottom, lam a ud carbon and cap it with eps.
Cut outline
Ready for shape…
Why the lines dividing the blank into 6 segments?
Or 3rds if the centerline is a stringer?

Centerline then, one line at wide point, one line 1 foot of tail and one 1 foot of nose. It’s where i mark for shaping bevels.
