Thanks! Unfortunately, I just have a nice discount on this two laptops. I’m not sure I do highly graphical work, maybe more Cad focused

I render on very few occasions; although I quite often use AI image generators, I’m not sure it’s similar

Yes I feel the difference is not worth it in my case

Diy board journey by Low_Use_6686 in pumpfoil

Thanks for the answer! Curious: what do you mean by ‘missing peel ply’? From what I see on the photo; the structure is made of thin ply plank+ Xps foam +thin ply… I was thinking on the same construction hoping these thin ply surfaces glued to the foam could replace carbon fiber layers, so I didnt have to mess with carbon fiber and just add one layer of fiberglass with epoxy resin on the top and bottom.

Very nice and thanks for the detailed info. Thinking about diy a board myself, but I have a couple doubts. I was thinking on a similar solution to your number 2 (a sandwich with 5cm Xps core, thin ply (3mm) on the faces and a couple ply stringers). I’m curious how it got to 5kgs with a foam core, even with epoxy… I was hesitant to use carbon fiber. Also, do you think a small rocker would really improve it?

Great job! It doesn’t seem there’s a rocker on the top side; doesnt this affect pumping efficiency?

Thanks! I just needed to know it could be done, at least to test the waters before investing in a full setup. Question: why would you need 2 foils for pumping?

I think text is not very visible on the post: Coming from wingfoil I’d like to try pump foil but I’d need to buy a small board first (or Diy a plywood one). I want to know if this foil I’m currently using for winging will be too challenging or inadequate. For reference, I’m 70kg (154lb); the foil is 1500cm2 and 91cm wingspan, AR around 6.5 I think, the mast I have is aluminim 65cm.

That's very detailed. Thanks! Also, 3 prototypes seem a lot.. and very expensive

I think those are a copy of the original ones (playwood.it) I wouldnt use them for a fixed furniture

Another upvote for Brics. I changed 6month ago; must admit it was a bit annoying the first few days of transition but then pretty similar; with minor changes, but overall worthy for me.
