the only dimension i don't comprehend fully based on the text & the diagrams here:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ebb/kiteboard//html/krommen.html

is "step rocker" - is that supposed to be a concave rocker running lengthwise from rail to rail? (side edge to side edge on the bottom)




JUST getting into the sport now.

got a radsail pro 4m, but it's raining and i haven't flown it yet. (12.5 x 3.5 feet) and ordered a viokite VR8 that's zippable from a 8m to a 6m.

planning on making a board or two or 4 or more as i can make a handful of them for the price of one used one. regardless of whether i use ply, marine ply, foam core, fibreglass, carbon fibre etc etc - i can make many for the price of one.

see thread here with some links to building info:

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1442261

i've also read another 7 page thread of how-tos etc.

never heard of a gaastra board... do tell...


edit:

my name is richard. you scare me. :p

lol...gaastra is one of the main kite factories in holland..they are a sailboat sails making company who make excellent kite's.... my BIL and I go often kitting... we use a gaastra 9m2 , 12m2, 14m2 ,18m2 and a 22m2...i wÃ*ll look the link up..

oh. never heard of gaastra.

naish
flexifoil

liquid force
viokite
pegas

etc etc etc i have heard of as kite manufacturers... but never heard of gaastra.

laying out the cuts to make a jig today.

red cedar core, delrin inserts, proper epoxy, sealer, resin, fiberglass = $125cdn/board fins X 6 = $162cdn dakine footpads & straps = $110 cdn... sooo, $377cdn vs $650-1300cdn for a pro made board. might save $ on fins by buying one of each of the sizes we need (4x2" & 2x1.5") & making moulds of them... making some ghetto fins out of s-glass and resin. if it works, it works - if not, oh well - $5 wasted.

i'm making a 180 or so cm board to learn with, and a 140 something board for later. 2 friends will be making boards along with me. i might also make myself a third cheapie flat ply board with no fins too, as i'm told they're great fun for almost no $.

a number of kiters who travel to surf bring their hardware and just cutout a simple marine plyboard when they get to where they're going. sounds logical.
