New board design will be tested this month. New shape, new ideas. Wonder to check how does it work.

Agree, think about it, a full wood deck, strapless, just a thin layer of wax and that's it, AWESOMETheRussian wrote:Will you be doing a free ride version, possibly with a full deck pad? - love the wood !
"Sub10" is a freeride/learning/light wind board. It might have a full pad on demand.TheRussian wrote:Will you be doing a free ride version, possibly with a full deck pad? - love the wood !
We need to test it all available conditions. You are right - in the raceboards a double concave was an issue. In foilboards it is a different story.davesails7 wrote:Beautiful! Interested to hear how the V-hull works out. I heard they tried that on course raceboards, but the "V" would catch waves and tend to make the nose turn to one side or the other.
I tried padless riding. The foil's feeling is a bit more direct. I think that is a reason Johnny rides his boards without pads.Peter_Frank wrote:Agree, think about it, a full wood deck, strapless, just a thin layer of wax and that's it, AWESOME
I like how you wrapped the wood on the deck rails. How did you laminate the wood down without getting ridges and gaps where the board curves?BraCuru wrote:"Sub10" is a freeride/learning/light wind board.

Happy you like the wood. It is an oak. It is easier to apply then a bamboo but need to be tested on the water for longer while.
"Race" - designed for the racers. However it might be used by anybody except beginners. The Sub10 is a better product for them.

The double concave helps to the racer during a jibing when he enters the jibe being in air and then his board lands in the water. The contact should be as short as possible. Therefore the "Race's" nose is wider than Sub10.
I am going to make 4 prototypes and test it thoroughly over the winter.
