I still don't know how you get away with using so little glass without it being way too flexi or snapping. Can you post some pics to demonstrate the flex?downunder wrote: Weight 1820 grams atm.

I'm struggling lol, vid will be good when you've finished. As a reference, if I suspend mine between to points approx. 2inches from the tips and then stand in the middle of the board between the inserts I get maybe 40-50mm of travel with a little light bouncing.downunder wrote: Ha ha sijandy
still not a believer?! Ok, I'll make a vid after I finish this board. I've used 220+120 grams FG on top for this one, it would be even lighter with only 220.
Mind you, the tips are just 3mm for like =>10cm, than steady going thicker. And I can't bent it with my hands (do not want too much pressure since not glassed both sides).
Looking good man. Remember too sijandy. Down under is not a large guy. He doesn't need to make a strong board for a heavy dude.downunder wrote:Ha ha sijandysijandy wrote:I still don't know how you get away with using so little glass without it being way too flexi or snapping.

Me neither. Unfortunately, from your pics I think I have my answers. Was hoping you had some mad secret techniques I could steal lol but I think our methods are pretty much the same, your boards are simply smaller and super flexi. Surely with that much flex you must get a lot of distortion and negative rocker? For comparison, I suspended mine on blocks roughly 2inches from the tips and stand in the middle (70kg) and get 15-20mm travel. The only way I've managed to keep the weight down is carbon fibre, just expensive and a s**t to work with. ps - what's with the two diagonal strips?plummet wrote: Looking good man.
