So I'm thinking you could do a tri stringer with ribs that float inside a foam blow that would make a lot stronger conventional foam board. The two side stringers could float too so the shaper only had to deal with the foam and center stringer. Anyways that inside cage needs to be patented and I could see it used to strengthen all types of watercraft from Randy French's Surftech popouts to foilers to tow in boards. They could be cut out of carbon fiber sheets for lightness. You also might consider the tri model to stabilize your cage for a quicker assembly and added strength. Even a double stringer could reduce fidgeting.
@@ottersurfboards excuse me, I build ultralight boats and use wood like you. Wide frames without details are frustrating even if your explanations are pertinent. I don't understand your target, but an enthusiast will want to see shapes, work details, compare, draw conclusions, otherwise why would he look? There are hundreds of books about boat building, but a video can be more interesting
@@shase6shase Cool, thanks for the input - we're always trying to learn how to make better videos, so thanks for the thoughtful feedback :) Our intention was to give people a good idea of what to expect when they join us to make a surfboard on one of our workshop weeks as opposed to making a true 'how to make a surfboard' video.

Really enjoying these, thanks!!
No worries, thanks for the kind words!
sorry, but there is no detail to see
Thanks for the feedback, which part do you feel is missing detail? We try to capture our process as best as we can :)
