Day 1 - Garage Built 14' Race SUP

The 14 ft block of foam arrives fully boxed. I was surprised it came boxed.



Template is added to the blank for hotwire cutting


Test cut with the hotwire cutter


Blank is cut


The foam was ordered from http://univfoam.com/

When it arrived, the label said it was drop shipped from http://www.carpenter.com/ in High Point NC.

I could probably order direct from Carpenter next time and cut out the middle man.

Are you going to build Jacky's board at the same time or are you going to do one at a time? Looks like you may be able to squeeze 2 more boards our of that blank? 1 - proto and 2 final designs?

The first board, will be the thinner, more narrow board. It will be completed and tested before board number 2 is started. Then board number 2 will be larger or smaller depending on how the test goes. The test will determine who gets board number 1.

There is enough foam for 3 race boards and 2 shortboards.

impressive....I'm looking forward to watching how it progresses. My dad used to be in the foam business...he would be really interested in this.
