Re: Custom Kiteboard Full Carbon

Greetings
I ordered by mistake some years ago 0/90° carbon. Both mold injecetd boards broke within 2 week period.
I learned this lesson well.
When you look on a glider wing, 90% of the outer/inner shell is made out of biax carbon. Every thing that is not able to flex under heavy load, breaks.
I have been working as a service and repair guy for gliders a long time.
Same story on thing windmills.
Biggest part of the mill is biax, in the root area its UD glas and biax.
I worked in a huge windmill company for decades, repaired miles and miles on fibers all coleurs.
I would not start any expensive experiments on the layer directions if you are not 100% what you are doing.
I stick on my previous statement, the board is facing delemination left and right of the pads. There you have the biggest forces.
