Read about this 20 years ago.  Not sure surfboards are a good application, 100% of the weight needs to be structural and unreacted polymer isn’t.  Also adds too much expense and can’t address catastrophic failures.  Cool tech though.

Hey Greg!

Haven’t logged in for  a while…  Stoked to see you here.  Been working in my garage to get my shop back in shape, or at least my head, so I can get back in the shop…  Hope all’s well.
