New SUP deck plug

 Our new SUP is coming along.

It is a hollow structural skin design.  The hull was molded awhile ago and now our deck plug is taking shape.

Today we gave it a glass skin.  Soon this will get gelcoat.  The gelcoat will be sanded and polished up to a gloss before molding.   

SUP: Molded

We molded the plug.  Made a video as well but way to long to deal with.
Here is a still photo of the completed mold prior to releasing and a photo of the mold itself.
We used black tooling gel-coat, vinyl ester resin, chopped strand mat, woven roving and glass tapes for reinforcement.

Hull #3, 100% carbon fiber

Our first 100% carbon board is sold and off into the world.
The customer supplied a nice Sea Deck pad.  It has great texture and feel.
Other than the pretty pad and colorful grab loops, the board is all black, including deck hatch and 9 inch fin.
Here are some photos:

Hold on Curt!
