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.

For the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEiZ1XdNf-c

Beautiful job !

What did you use for the rails / edges ? On the bow and tail it seems you used filler, is it right ? What about the rails ?

Thanks in advance !

I used epoxy resin charged with milled carbon fiber
On the bow and tail it seems you used filler

No, there are two small pieces of balsa wood. When laminated they given to the tails a right amount of rigidity.

Looks awesome!

The core must have taken hours to get perfectly right!

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!
