Hi all,
the aim of this work is to obtain a light, confortable and cool kiteboard  Tongue
Instead of use an usual PU or  wood core I tryed to generate something similar to honeycomb.
At first it needs a lot of meters of carbon's tube.. so you have a roll a lot..
For the top and bottom sheet I chose the carbonkevlar for its elongations properties.

I show you some picture and a quick video with the building process.

At first I didn't realize what the core was! That's gotta be the coolest use for carbon fiber tube I have seen so far.  So nasty!
