Boogie Foil Board II

4’6” x 28” x 3.75”.  This was a full on collaboration between master shaper Rex Kashinoki, test pilot Sam Pa’e and myself (project coordinator, glasser).  This started off as a hunk of discarded construction foam given to me by Harry Alama.  We glued it up and hotwired it into a workable billet.  Rex tweaked earlier body board files and incorporated design changes from Sam. Eric Arakawa did the CNC cutting and Rex refined the shaped and incorporated Sam’s suggestions.  Our first boogie foil board was a game changer but we eventually had foil mount failure that needed to be address.  For this board Sam provided a Blue Planet Foil Strong Box cassette that was inserted and glassed over with three layers of 6 oz. carbon fiber.

The bottom has a full carbon fiber layer and covered with 4 and 6 oz. fiberglass cloth with Fuchsia pigment.  The top layer was also glassed with 4 and 6 oz. fiberglass cloth with Fuchsia pigment, the deck carbon fiber was painted over with white. To break up the fuchsia black graphics were used.
