Here is the making of the Suteh Pro model. Dimensions are 124 X 39, rather small, as she ain't that big either! Ultra wide stance ( 40 cm ) for her, for the easy landing and carving ( we don't care about knees)!
Rails and tips are 4,5 mm ( have to get to 1 mm!) and center is 10 mm. A lot of inserts, wanted to be sure she could spread her footstraps wide enough so her (little) feet would fit in!
lay up is :
DD lacquer
2x 180 gr glass
'Karuba' wood core + custom paint
3x 180 gr glass
DD lacquer
As the core tends to reverse to it's originial flat shape, I tried a rocker of 15 cm on the rocker table, which resulted in 2.5 cm rocker.
some minor mistakes, like using not enough epoxy ( My mum let's me live on a budget... ) , so you can see a 'stamp' now and then. Also : never go straight down, when thinning the core ( has to be progressive ) the glass fibre doesn't like this! Result : some bubbles , but our next door doctor and his syringes helped me fix that!
because of smallband + dumb michelle , the internet is too too too slow for photo-uploading
soon!
