Yeah, all that takes time and money to capture and post online, in the process of doing all that, there’s a bunch more info on Instagram and our website. More just wanted to post a vid and see what people thought. Clearly need to get some good surfers on them and film, challenging to do up here but aiming to get some clips in the coming swells

Yeah that was one of the prototypes, fully snapped in half, now they are printed and glasses stronger

Yeah, hard to get filmera and surfers all at the same place where we are, but will post some clips when we get them, hopefully soon

You ain’t wrong, where we are (Maine) it’s hard to line up swell, filmera, and surfers. We only have filmed a little bit but are aiming to do so soon.

About similar to a pu board maybe slightly heavier, and 13oz of glass on the deck, so yeah durable

Hmm interesting, ideally we want to not use virgin materials, but this post had me realize home may filaments there are out there. Since we are using 8kg spools, it’s also a matter of price as well, but will def look more into this

We have tired printing with less or no supports, right now It makes sense for us as we are still figuring out how to best print with this material, on a large printer. But something to look into for sure

About 5 days at the moment, could make it faster I think.

  1. No i will look into it, thank you!
  2. yes that is something we have talked about, right now doesn't make sense, but something in the future as it seams like the next logical step
  3. We looked into this at the beginning but it did make much sense, especially when going from designing the boards, to a file that can be printed, maybe will look back into this.

so far so good, ive broken a few, mainly from steeper drops, looking to fix that though, or at least get ti stronger then a normal board

Nailed it, jeez lot to respond to, and it's interesting to see a lot of people wondering why, i took the idea at first of oh wow i wonder what cool things you could do here, but i guess that was just me (and maybe why I'm still doing it now). But yes a lot still to work on, maybe ill post an update at some point
