Two for what ever

Nothing really earth shaking, just in a rush to get some photo’s

Seems the “beta boards” leave and I never get photo’s!

These two are destined to get wet tomorrow.

#1 “Boy’s” new step up… 6’-1" 

#2 “The Rasta” 5’-10” for Kale (new rider).

Changed up from “A” beta boards  to “R” US Blanks. 

Top two Christmas production using the R…

God bless & Aloha

 









Matt, I am totally digging the green-yellow-red glue lines, makes me want to cut up some foam just to glue it back together. Nicely done. -J

very nice

I like the triple stringer look!

Thanks to Mystro Barry, whom fears no blank!

Step up worked great, Rasta not ridden yet…

 

Does anyone remember the mid/late 60’s paper stringers, that were being done by Clark Foam?      Weaker than 1/16 th wood, but stronger than glue/resin alone.      Might be time to bring it back, eh?

The paper stringers had a nice look. Very subtle 
bit of color. Bill do you know what type of paper was used?

    Given that several colors were available, I suspect it may have been an art supply, called ‘‘construction paper.’’         I assume it is available in rolls.     That’s my best guess.      I’m sure a little research will turn up a source.

 

Thanks all!

No disrespect…

And boys,  EZ here just my observations and experience

Barry’s “sauce” in my sorry ass opinion may very well add strength, flex and rebound.

Recently had Boy take an air drop and on landing put his heel through the deck a good ¾” into the foam.  During repair I was amazed there were no stress fractures as would be normal at least.

Patched the bitch.

Went out to the bone pile, grabbed a glued up section and just bent it till it snapped.

It  bent so far beyond what I felt was normal prior to snap,  I grabbed an unglued and glued up bones, result glued up piece bent way more.

Grabbed another piece of glued up foam.

This time I bent it to the edge of breaking and released.

It piece returned to its shape. Hum…

Same piece I go again and it snapped earlier than I expected.

O.K. no miracle

Advantages?

IMO it shapes EZ’r than resin glue ups (never tried the paper deal)

And the board is good till the next wallop.

Aloha

Eh here’s a cool pic GoPro “Boy” “Christening” the new step up.

Done a few paper stringers.

Just used construction paper.

Comes in all colors.

Used other thinner paper but does not soak glue.

That makes a stronger stringer.

Nice glue-up Matty.

You are correct.

Gluelines act as stringers.

Minus the rigidity.

That is why I do some stringerless.
