Very nice work!
It really is something extraordinary what you are doing there…
congratulations my friend…good inspiration you are
Never seen fabric like that. And your handcut designs are pretty wild, can’t imagine not using a stencil.
Workmanship like this “does’t fall out of the air”, what is your background, purely hobby? Most companies who work with composites can’t produce such things with this quality. Nice scorpion too

Thanks, for me is an hobby … with a lot of passion, in every work (usually sports equipements) I try to do something new to improve methods and skills.
Nice scorpion too
I love it, it’s my logo
Never seen fabric like that
That on the surf was commercial, not that in the photo :D. At this moment I’m doing something very special about spread tow (and Hydrofoil of course)… You have to wait a little bit (a couple of months )
And obviously, the scorpion on the top

I’m glad that you like, thanks
New year… new board 
The board is nearly finished, now I’ve to start with a new, strange, hydrofoil.
Thank you for sharing your craft. Amazing
Looks freaking awesome man! Good work!
How are you cutting the stenciled parts?
stunning work,congrats 
Thanks I’m pleased that you like. and ins’t yet completed…
How are you cutting the stenciled parts?
with a sharp knife, like as you can see in the video (but obviously not so fast )

A little trick often I need also sanding a little bit the edge because cutting with a knife it’s difficult to follow complex lines.
I’ts quite easy with the 160 gr spread tow, it’s a little bit harder with the 200 gr spread tow.
I’m not sure that it’s possible whith other fabrics
Great video man, I appreciate that. Nice to see you working.
You’re just free handing those cuts too? Great craftsmanship!
I just scanned it now, i’ll have to watch it when I get home.
awesome ! just shows you dont need a fancy CNC to make great looking parts …
although … id like to see what bruce would come up with using a cnc
Wow! Gorgeous!
The build video of the foil board was wonderful. Can you step through the finish technique you used to get that perfect clear gloss surface? I see you strip off a sort of peel (what is that stuff?). Is that the last step? Was there an additional PUR coat after? Auto Clear coat? Epoxy only?
How did you like the double wing foil compared to a single?
I Love it!!!
Sorry for the delay,
Can you step through the finish technique you used to get that perfect clear gloss surface? I see you strip off a sort of peel (what is that stuff?)
I use 0,25 mm thickness PET sheet, usally it has a good finish (put some demoulding wax after using it).
How did you like the double wing foil compared to a single?
the double wing is less sensitive to the turbulence and the foil need less speed to start working, it as also a good stability.
Now the new foils are finised and tested.
I add some pics and, as soon as I can, the new two videos (constructions and trials)

Cool stuff, looks like lots of work!
Interesting with the infusion process, are you infusing the laminate under a mylar or vinyl sheet? Is that what is happening? love to know more??
Cool stuff
Thanks, for me is a great honor to receive a compliment from who is without doubt the leader in the foil field.
are you infusing the laminate under a mylar or vinyl sheet?
No, I don’t think it is possible.
Is that what is happening? love to know more??
Sorry, but You are thalking about the board or the wing?
Those things are works of art!
I think he’s talking about the bottom skin infusion as you show pulling the sheet of mylar off after it is bonded to the board with a very nice finish.
Do you have any idea of the resin content of your infused skins? I’m looking at doing a project with infused single ply skins and I’m wondering how easy it is to get a skin with a good resin to fiber ratio.
I mean the board when you peel off the PET? is the laminate under this infused or done some other way?
I love the contrast between wood and carbon fiber, so, in order to obtain my logo on the board I had to proceed in that way:
infusion of single layer of “custom” spread tow and cure.
cutting images with knife
epoxy on the bottom board (wood) + layer of cutted carbon +epoxy + PET
the whole in a vacuum bag.
At this point starts a boring and manual operation. You must uniform the amount of resin and push from the center to the corner every air bubble.
I knew that from an industrial point of view is a stupid method but, in my case, for a single and unique board with this kind of decorations, i think that there is no way to use other process.
A single layer of spread tow for sure isn’t processable by infusion without mesh and peel ply in one side.
I’m looking at doing a project with infused single ply skins and I’m wondering how easy it is to get a skin with a good resin to fiber ratio.
With the infusion process there is no problem about the quantity of resin. You always reach the right amount (if everything is well done)
