I know it's my first post but I'm a longish time lurker...

I've noticed a few people have posted their board builds recently so though I'd add mine to the mix

It's still not quite finished but getting there,

Spec's:
1420 x 445 at midpoint, 300 tips
Approx 3kg (6.6lb) but the next one WILL be lighter, aiming for 2.5kg (5.5lb) or less
10mm concave at midpoint, flat tips
late 3 stage hybrid rocker
wrapped rails at the moment but next board will have PU or ABS rails
Full Carbon Fibre & foam construction using UD, Bi-axial & twill weaves
Foam is 6mm (1/4in) Corecell M80 from Gurit, propper marine foam with decent mechancial properties

This is the foam all measured & cut out with indert positions
2014-03-05 20.32.01

Layed up and in the vacuum bag, the next board will have a heated cure in the oven. (The resin I use likes a higher temperature cure cycle)

Demouled and first trim but shows the amount of rocker
2014-03-12 08.47.39

Edge to edge concave, should edge well but expect it to be quite unforgiving.
2014-03-12 08.48.38

Rocker profile, the camera has skewed the angles a bit as it looks a little squashed
2014-03-12 08.49.51

The basic board, first trim done but needs a bit of work to get a decent finish
2014-03-12 08.48.06

The concave is quite high so I'm going to have to lay up some extra over the heal/toe of the bindings to ensure it's flat.

Thats it so far once I've done some more work on it and taken it out for a ride, I'll post up the results
