Pocket board building

[jumptheshark]

Can others maybe chime in with the lengthwise spacing of the holes in their plates?

Thought is was fairly standard the last few years... 165x90

This is the official hole setup from Lift.

WTF? 88.9! and 165.1?

I guess there is still room for confusion!

Now I'm just really glad mine fits.

Props to thewindego for building such a sweet ride.

I'm forever grateful.

What I'm talking about, lots of different
What is official dimension are Moses foils?

Come on guys. 165x90 and 165.1×88.9 is the same thing. The holes in boards are not accurate to 0.1mm, holes in foil plates typically 0.5-1mm oversize.

Carbon plate is 165*90. Aluminium mast plates are 140/160*90.

any experimenting with "eco" pocketboards like TomW method of wood "core" with flax fibers and the greenest possible epoxy or different resin? or natural extruded, printed foam as core material?

anyone going down this route, yet? or will something strong and long lasting eventually always end on the hazardous waste road?

interested if someone came up with something different like:

or just green washed marketing?


*just in case: because why not?

[PrfctChaos]

You wouldn't be able to go much greener than a wooden board with oiled finish, no epoxy or fibreglass. Something like pauwlonia wood, depending on your location and what wood is available.

Something like this?

I mean how more friendly can it be?

[lebast]

@downunder are those hollow wood bodyboards?
can you give me the contact or did you make them?

wondering if this construction type without fiber can take the longterm beating of foiling strapless freestyle without being on the heavy side?
