Construction Plan

Due to the fact that I am extremely bored in West Virginia, I told my brother that I would make him a skim board. Here is the plan:

  • Foam core construction (3/4" extruded polystyrene house insulation)
  • Fiberglass with epoxy resin (epoxy does not melt polystyrene unlike polyester based fiberglass resin)
  • Maybe a final layer of carbon fiber (so sexy!)

Here is the purposed design as drawn in CAD.


Dimensions: 54" length, 22" wide, 3/4" thick, 2" rocker, 3/4" tail
