haha those look killer! Love the tsunami action...and there's no epoxy/gloved handprints on your topsheets. Nice work!

Great work Falls - really looking forward to the video!

thanks brazen/rich
I've had the topsheet sitting around for almost a year. Didn't really think about it until today that it might be a bit inappropriate given the events in japan in march this year. It's a classic japanese painting though, one i've always liked.

LOVE the graphics! They're going to look killer trimmed up with the protectant tape peeled off!

I love the graphics as well. I almost chose that same picture for my Surfer skis. Let's see the finished product!

What type of tape are you using to attach your tip spacers?

Those look awesome! I'm gonna have to watch that video later because it won't work on my phone and work blocks anything cool

Definitely worth the wait Tahoe

The tape is fibreglass tape used in plastering. It works ok, but isn't that sticky. I think if the adhesive was stronger it would be really good. I like the idea because it becomes part of the reinforcement in the epoxy at the weak junction point of core to tipspacer.

masking tape does work also.
But, staples really are the best solution IMO

Well worth the wait. Nice video. Can't wait to see them all cleaned up!
Also-Great start to finish journal. When I feel like I'm getting nowhere I look back at your first couple of posts and compare to what you've built to date. Pretty impressive! When are Crisp Skis going worldwide??!!
