Converting powerbox to tuttle box, change the rocker! DIY

[@wordreet]

Nice job. When I repaired a friend's broken finbox in a wave board 30 years ago, he said, "Do what you want, it's scrap as it stands". So the finbox sat in a carbon tow sheet lined channel, with the same carbon extended on each side approx 50mm. This also made me change the rocker as I didn't want to sand away all the carbon. So. like yours, the furthest part of the tail had about 3mm added and got flattened out somewhat. My friend said it had a better top speed, but lost a little bit in the turns. So it became more like a slalom board. :¬)

Those plastic Tuttle boxes are not very strong and should only be used for a smaller fin set-up. 32cm and smaller. As well they should never be used for a FOIL

Good work bro ! Sisko

Is it strong enough for foiling ?

[@robrockwindsurfboards75]

The Chinook tuttle box is very strong, but this box/construction is in my opinion not strong enough for a windfoil.

What type of paint do you use?

[@robrockwindsurfboards75]

Well, you can use 2k paint, oil based paint or water based paint. I am using mostly the water based paint. Its not the hardest paint, but its easy to work with. If you want to make it more stronger use clear coat.

Rob Rock Windsurfboards thanks😀

what a kind of paint on bottom?

[@robrockwindsurfboards75]

The paint used on this board is water based. In general, you can not use any paint. The adhesion is also a part that is very important. Always do a test. Let the paint dry for a few days and stick a piece of tape to see if the paint holds.Twee component paint is tougher / stronger, but also more difficult to repair. Oil based paint is often more elastic. Finish with a clear lacquer coating also gives more strength, but then again difficult to repair. Boat paint is also a good option. When in doubt, consult a specialist company.
