So I'd like to start a late winter project. I have a bunch of fiberglass/carbon fiber and thought it would be fun to make my own board. I'd like to build it as a "beginners" board but have no idea what all the specs are for these boards. I will be putting quite a bit of effort and time into the design/build but I need to know some specifics first.
Planning on doing a continuous rocker at 142cm.
What I don't know:
a) Thickness of the average wakeboard
b) Curve height from bottom to tip of the rocker (how deep is the curve)
Anyone know of a site where I can get schematics or other builds people have done? I have found very little and scarce material on this subject so far.
My goal is to tweak the design and ergonomics of the board 1st then make a mold to start experimenting with different fiberglass layups.
Keep in mind. I am doing this as a project, not to try and save money on a board.
Thanks!
