Get that vacuum bag! I want to see!! 🤙🤙

So fun to watch. Great stuff.

[@ZakBeardSurfboards]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Appreciate the experimentation. I’m brainstorming some ways to lessen pressure dents on the deck. I believe the paint may have needed more time to cure. I would like to try pu foam with epoxy glass. Can I ask where you got the CNC done? 🤙🏼

[@ZakBeardSurfboards]

Glad you enjoyed it and good luck with your board! I got back and forth between Marko foam and bashams for cnc. Just depends on if I use an eps or pu blank

[@allsurf]

@@ZakBeardSurfboards Appreciate that, thank you.

what i have been doing is getting pre-preg cnc cut carbon, as well as the cnc cut foam board. the pre-preg is the perfect shape. it's easy, clean, fast and you can take all the time in the world. then bag it, get the room the right temp and suck and cure. you should be able to find somewhere that will cut pre-preg near you. i highly recommend. it's less detrimental to air and lungs too! you can keep it rolled up in a fridge indefinitely.

It’s funny you mention prepreg. I just discovered it and am making my next board with it. To be honest, I wasn’t super stoked on how easily it stuck to itself. Carbon is already extra difficult and it made it even more difficult to work with. But stoked you’re liking it👍🏼

It's eps or xps blank? Great job man!

EPS

Funny to see someone riding a similar franken-fin setup haha ive been using am1 black stix on the sides with the WCT (tech flex) rear for a few months now and digging it. Looks like you're doing the Jordy/WCT combo?

[@ZakBeardSurfboards]

Ya I love the jordy's for how drivey they are! But I wanted something a little more skatey so I through in a medium sized middle fin that was laying around. I think someone left it at my house or something haha.
