Hey Rob
Show us your board! I didn't know you were a builder.

Mine is sitting on the bench waiting for some love. It is only 60cm wide and may be better for a lighter rider in comps. Maybe a new piece of foam will get hacked into a "70cm box".

Cheers
Stan

LOL - no, I don't build boards, but I have a theory. If it works, you'll be the first to know and I'll show ya! If it doesn't, well, I'll show ya anyway. Tomorrow will be the first trial...lol

Home depot has 3in 1.5lb density in 2x8ft. If you want a 70cm you need to add a bit unfortunately. But since is all accurately cut it makes a good starting point compared to hot wiring out from a big block.

Re: the skinny on racing at CORK


For a canadian supplier noahsmarine.com is pretty good all around. Worth the drive to pick up all the bits like fairing compounds, paint etc.

For a US supplier
http://greenlightsurfsupply.com/

I really like the resin research epoxy from greenlight. But their shipping is ridiculous expensive.
