Kev's SN Build

[BruceSki]

better reinforce that ski before you use all your resin up making carbon fiber parts.

i wanna make a carbon fiber copy of my JD ride plate.

 

[jetli27]

no dude i got plenty of resin anyway so i might as well do it i got nowthin else to do

 

[Brenden]

how thick is that nose you did id say you'd need a good many more layers to make a carbon copy of it
unless your just covering the nose in carbon?

 

[jetli27]

it only has a layer of fiber on it just to make a mold im going to put plenty more layers to get it to a nice size

half day over at work today so i decided to do somethings to the ski (well not really) i made a stand (thanks to home depot) lol cut it shorter welded the poles back together then put 2x4 for ramps now the next thing to do i grind down those ribs im trying to find other things to do other then that the ones in the front are a killer

 

[BruceSki]

lol home depot

 

[jetli27]

yup curtisy of home depot

 

[jetli27]

what do you guys think about a scupper? im thinking long and hard about that.

 

[jetli27]

yea......4 hours of doin jack . next time we really got to do get some done. preety in annoyin not seein it move along and its not even my ski....lol:dead1:

 

[BruceSki]

i vote no scupper... if you kick the ski away in the surf and it flips upside down its gonna sink fast

just do two bilges and the stock bilge

 

[jetli27]

yea i gotta look into that mabye mabye not we'll see

the home depot scupper works great, doesn't leak a bit when just floating around. i have had mine in my ski for 2 years and had zero problems with it, and it dumps water fast I hardly ever use my bilges.

 

[jetli27]

nice good info to have ill keep that in mind

 

[demolition_x]

no problem, i usually ride surf and it hasn't been an issue yet.

good luck and just for reference the home depot valve is the one without the square halves screwed together

good i think it persuades me in that way i hear that they sink when there upside down though hey if your ski goes upside down in the water it deserves to sink in the first place
