EPS Midlength Surfboard Glassed with Carbon Fiber

I've been experimenting with this idea of removing a stringer and replacing it with carbon fiber reinforced deck and rails. The EPS blank serves as a lighter more buoyant core. The carbon layer in theory serves as a stronger stringer and deck lam which will allow it to be lighter and last longer.
And then the midlength design only makes sense, but I need to try it first. The theory is longer, more buoyant boards make it easier to catch and surf waves.

great work, can you share the formula for measurement for fins placement

Nice work. I am surprised that the green tint covered the black so well, and i am surprised that you had to hand cut the outline for a cnc cut shape. Normaly the machine does that.

Ha ya I leave the digital file open for interpretation so I can make a round tail or swallow. But the green was a little transparent. I decided to start spraying rather than the resin tint.

Great work! You put so many epoxy layers on top, but I think it’s ok if we remember how much the customer weighs :)

2 layers of fabric, fill coat, and hot coat is pretty standard for epoxy from what I’m aware. I just did it in a few extra steps for strategic reasons.

How do you get that 2 level route for the track box? Also what kind of powered scissors are you using?thanks!

Hey hey, nice vid showing the whole process. Just a little question. What do you use to cut your fiberglass? Looks easier than cutting with siccors...
