Glassing flexspoon edgeboard CONCEPT - Tell me what you think!

General Discussion
1

I would like to hear your comments and feedback on my concept for glassing a flexspoon edgeboard.

I am making it from a solid-core, stringerless blank (no mould).

I have attached 3 images below outlining the concept.

The proposal below is applied to both sides of the board, so in total there will be 10 layers of glas.

 

PROPOSED BOARD SIZE

I am 196lb

Boad: 6’1" x 20"

Nose lift of 3 1/2"

flat from tail to 34" towards the nose.

 

 

Primary objectives:

  1. Reduce overall weight.
  2. Increase strength with less glass by cross layering the layers.
  3. Optimise flex potential by layering/staggering glass, especially in the tail area, developing an organic foiling of the board. This will reduce the need for sanding and hopefully end up close to the required result through just the glassing process.
