Very good! Professional hand crafted! Would love to do one similar. Curious can you bend pauwlonia To create a little rocker? Then do the carbon to hold the curve?
Thanks for your comment! In my opinion, the Paulownia wood core will be too stiff to keep it in a curved shape with the carbon layer. In my other video "the curvy shaped koi" I managed to form a rocker with balsa and beech wood strips. However, I prefer a flat board. It's somehow more ergonomic for pumping!
It is first a layer of carbon and then glass. You could also do it the other way around, but then the edges would no longer have that wooden look. What would I do differently? I'm still thinking about how to make the holes for the mast easier. Maybe with inserts? But I haven't found anything suitable yet!
Happy New Year! In this Video I used Tesa Ultra Power Tape. The Tape is very wide (48mm) what makes it difficult to mask curvy lines without wrinkles. I tried out a strong paper masking tape with 20mm width and it worked better. Just apply two lanes side by side to have a wider masking!
Megagut und super, dass ihr das mit der Community teilt! Meint ihr, dass m8 Gewindemuffen auch für den Mastmount klappen würden? Hattet ihr damit Mal gearbeitet?
Hallo choco4surf, du meinst sicher diese Gewindemuffen mit Außengewinde für Holz und innen metrisches Gewinde!? Nein, damit haben wir tatsächlich noch nicht gearbeitet und können keine Erfahrungen dazu teilen. Wir würden diese Muffen dann aber auch nur in massives Holz schrauben, also kein Paulownia oder Balsa. Alternativ könnten aber auch je nach Boarddicke "Einschlagmuttern" funktionieren. Etwas edler wären "Bighead Fastener". Achte in jedem Fall darauf, dass es Edelstahl ist. Bei Salzwasser am besten A4 Edelstahl!
Tatsächlich meine ich nur eingeklebte Gewindemuffen (nur mit Innengewinde, aussen glatt und nur eingeklebt in die Bohrung). Also eine Befestigung ganz ohne Mutter. Aber vermutlich ist das zu riskant. Werde es vermutlich nicht riskieren. @@neckarfoil
@@choco4surf Ist tatsächlich riskant. Es sollte zumindest ein Hinterschnitt vorhanden sein, also eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Gewinde und Board!
Hi! The inner walls of the holes must be sealed to prevent water from penetrating the wood. It doesn't have to be made of metal either! Sealing with epoxy could also be sufficient.
Yes, you are absolutely right! The grinding dust of the carbon fiber is respirable and a breathing mask should therefore be worn. Tip: the grinding dust can be reduced by wet grinding.
too complex: 2 hardwood sticks (2.1cm x 2.1cm x 60cm) screwed and glued 9cm apart for supporting the mast foot onto 3.3mm plywood - plus 2cm XPS laminated with 2 sheets of glass fabric (160g/m2) on bottom and sides + 1 sheet of glass fabric on top - Is sufficient. Thus at about 65€ and lighter weight too.
That sounds no less complex than simply using a wood core. But yes, using the hardwood strips as reinforcement is a great idea! And definitely more lightweight!
Hallo, ich bin gerade schon dabei das Board zu bauen und habe noch ein paar Fragen dazu :) - Wieso werden Kanten mit Klebeband abgeklebt vor der Glasfaserschicht? - Ist es auch möglich Langlöcher mit der Stichsäge reinzusägen und Epox reinzumachen oder ist das dann zu instabil? - Welche Schraubenköpfe nehmt ihr?

Hey, cooles Video. Ich scheitere gerade schon daran Paulownia Holz zu kaufen. Könnt Ihr mir sagen wo ihr das gefunden habt? In unseren Baumärkten gibt es das leider nicht.
Ja, das ist aktuell echt ein Problem in den Baumärkten. Es gibt einfach keinen Nachschub. Wir haben noch bei Bauhaus die letzten Reste bekommen. Echt doofe Situation:(
Hi 99shades, no there is not really a template. I just use the previously built board. But feel free with the shape. The shape plays a subordinate role for foil pumping boards. A sharp nose or corners should be avoided so that it is not as sensitive to impacts on the dock.

Very nice. Thank you for sharing this process. I would like to make a very simple board from plywood and epoxy, without the glass and carbon fiber. Is the carbon and glass really necessary and how much of a difference does it make if you do not use it?
Hi Harry, plywood weighs about twice as much as paulownia wood. But of course it's much more stable and yes, with plywood (20 mm thick) you don't need any additional fiber reinforcements.
Hi Tyler, the first of these “Kingfisher” boards have been in use for our foil pumping courses for almost two years now. There have also been no complaints from our customers who have purchased a board. The robust construction with the wooden core does not become soft despite the high load during pumping. It is ideal for dock launching in harsh environments with steel docks and concrete walls. In contrast to foam cores, the board does not soak water in the event of minor damage.
Thanks man for sharing this is great! I am trying to build my own very soon! The screw job is very impressive, I don't understand what is the tool you use at 6:15

Is there a reason for adding first glas layer on top of the board?
What would you do differen next time?

Thanks for the nice feedback!
Great video, thanks for sharing. Which tape do you use to mask the edge before applying first glass layer (around minute 3.00)?

How well has this board held up for a year? Has it gotten a lot of use? I might build a similar one, it looks very nice.

Hi how about ur board 120L 5'?
Hi, the length of the board is 92cm. With a thickness of 2 cm, the volume is 5 liters.
Does this answer your question?
@@neckarfoilis cool thx man im go to try👍🏻
Thanks man for sharing this is great! I am trying to build my own very soon! The screw job is very impressive, I don't understand what is the tool you use at 6:15
Hi Francois, the tool is a pipe cutter. It allows you to easily cut metal pipes to length. Always right-angled and without chips.
Super Tutorial!
