The colours have not been sprayed or painted or resin tinted.
They have been printed on a 2oz cloth, then laminated, cut laped.
The board have just been glassed as normal after that, 4+4 deck and 4 bottom.
I appoligiez for Lokbox (and others) who may think the board would have deserved some speed dialers but the owner has a FCS sponsorship and is not allowed to go with something else.
I’ve got to say that everytime I see a new post from you I go straight to it and am never disappointed. Beautiful board, cool technique and a big hooray for hand crafting.

Me too. Love that fish. Got one on the drawing board right now
Printer is a big “flat” machine able to print up to 1m large pannels.
It’s an inkjet machine.
The guy who provided me the fiber charges 50€ (65US$ or 85AU$) for up to 2 meters.
That fiber must be laminated first and cut laped clean.
You can’t dress a whole board with it because of angles, folds and cuts.
There are absolutely no limits as far as graphics are involved… you can create what ever you like with a program like photoshop, illustrator and so on…
I believe it could be done to print anyplace in the world but i also guess shiping a printed cloth is possible…
I could ask.
About weight and strengh:
The board is a 2oz printed and then 4+4oz deck and 4oz bottom.
It’ll be a bit stronger and still light board.
I shaped Teccel foam on that one and i really like to work with that foam so far. It’s a white, accurate average weighted foam.
