Yes - AKU CNC... I'm a huge fan if only because the software is pretty easy. Still, there is work to build a blank with stringers before machine shaping, but overall process guarantees reproducable consistency. Next board I make may be based on this original or I may choose to tweak the design.

Layup starts this week and I am still planning the kf.box installation... Not sure whether to glass the board first then add the box?

I do a patch of carbon then the box then the skin. I just feel it is a better link between everything.
But that is just my 2 cents

were did you pick up the gps for the board?
I went with a tuttle in this one instead of the longboard tracks.
the strip down the center is 19oz Uni carbon I will blend the ridge out with the hotcoat
Mine is pretty much a pocket board though

looks great... working with carbon is sometime a pain but when finished you feel like you mastered another thing in your life.
keep up the great work
