Hi all,
I'd like to show you a quick video about my split board for kitesurfing.

From a composites point of view  the board was obtained by an infusion process in the bottom and a lamination on the top.
In the bottom I also tryed to mix spread tow carbon fabric with aluminized glass in order to obtain something different from a graphical point of view.

The board core is balsa wood.

Very impressed.
Real nice work and love the quality of the video.
Watched your hydrofoil board video and that is sick man, just looks so wrong and yet so right sat out of the water.
