Sanding the carbon rail

Perfect weather, so what's better than to sand outdoors..

That's me with the small board. Stoked!

Colors in the garden


I wanted to make a smooth, visible/feel.. flow between carbon rail and deck.
This is not a cutlap construction. (Swop surfboards got some nice examples of nice carbon cutlaps here and here!. )

This is a stronger double layer construction. So it was a matter of carefully sanding. Sean's rails were a perfect example. Nice craftmanship, that you don't have to hide with a thick/wide pinstripe.

Sean's rail (really perfect, I can't come close)

Close up of my finished rail. Think it looks nice like this. I'm not going to cover up with a wide pinstripe, or a painted deck. Think just a thin white pinline, so you can still see the flow of the sanded carbon


Now it's time for a bbq and some beers

  4. Win, Ronja just jumped quik in front of the camera to get some shine. during the sanding she is far away, chewing some lamb bones.

    Torben. gewoon 2 plankjes om wat te proberen.(materiaal wat in huis ligt op te maken:-) Deze kleine is puur voor de hammerdays/storm! dus 4.2/3.7 full power. Classic control en hard gaan. Twin met extra sidebiters voor tractie als het losse je te gortig word. 225x54, litertje of 70?. concaaf into hele lichte dubbelconcaaf, uilopend in concaaf/vlak. Zal nog wel wat piccies smaken van bodemshape/rockerlijn(
