"Coursebräda": Pirate Cruiser

[tomp89]

tycker den ser jääääkligt fin ut du men tyvärr är man ju inbiten twintippare 😀

Lite mer vinkel på fenorna hade varit bättre tror jag 😉

Nja, Hasse. Inte helt säker på det.

Den informationen jag fått från några av det ledande tillverkarna är att 8 grader som Pirat har är att rekommendera.

Snart får vi köra!

Don d hur mår brosan?
Hur var indo jämfört med taiba?

[haze]

Peter: Tror i ofs att de flesta har egna ideér. Men på de flesta brädor i Tyskland så var det betydligt mer vinkel på..

[ziik]

Å sen när började vi lita på tyskar?

trodde vi slutade med det för en sjuttio år sedan cirka…

[haze]

ZIIK: Var knappt några tyskar. Mest fransmän 😉 men det är väl samma sak?

[kinetic]

Update: Pirates ägare/shaper kunde inte hålla sig utan testade brädan idag en kort sväng…
Facit: Den funkar som tänkt:grin: ! Helt annan känsla jämfört med hans directionals, denna kunde köras betydligt ”plattare” mot vattnet…Nu har han ingen annan liknande brädtyp att jämföra med men det verkar lovande! Bilder på den mindra varianten kommer så fort jag fått de…

how do these work in waves?? I have never tried one lol

Skotten: I will try to get one of these boards (the smaller one) to Sweden so people can try…They are not built in the same way as for instance Tom W and Anton’s ”Raceboards”. These are true sandwich boards with a EPS foam laminated with cloth, then Airex/Herex and some more cloth (mainly carbon/kevlar as i understand), when i told Pirate that it is probably not necessary to build them this way his answer was: ”I choosed between this way and only Airex/Herex but decided to go with true sandwich since i wanted some more volume so that the boards will be easier to gybe” (these boards are approx 5cm thick, and a 5cm thick core of Airex would be quite heavy, around 3cm is OK he says). The benefits of o board built with Airex/Herex core is that if its crashed it will virtually not absorb any water, if a sandwich board is smashed to the EPS-core well, then we all know what that means:grin:. Anyway he has sailed this bigger board a few times and it works really well according to him:grin:

Kinetic,
All surf boards are sandwich constuction. Anything with a ”core” and ”skins” is a sandwich.
a snowboard is a sandwich. a ski is a sandwich. a dubbelmacka is a sandwich.

a swedish sandwich is NOT a sandwich, it only has one skin.

More Pawa to ya. be happy to try out any boards u can get 2 da beach. If u c 1 uf myn, ryd it- anytime.

Tom W: Well sort of sandwich, thats why i wrote ”true sandwich”:grin:…I would not say that for instance an old thermoformed windsurfingboard (as it was ”back in the days”, early 90´s) is a sandwichboard since its only an EPS-core wraped with some cloth/resin and then covered with some kind of ABS.. A real sandwich should be: core-cloth-distancing material-cloth. As a following Pirate is not calling their regular TwinTip boards ”real sandwich” construction because they really are not, its just a core wraped with several layer of cloth, just as any other brand, but there is a possibility to bond two thin sheets of airex together with cloth between and then wrap it with cloth, that is almost a ”true sandwich” if you consider the cloth between the sheets being the core:grin:.Anyway my personal opinion is: build as simple as possible as long as it does the job:grin:. I would try your board, that is if i could kite-surf, which i can not, not yet anyway, i do have all the kit needed but i just havent ”started”…yet:grin:

Anyway your board looks like a killer, i really hope your fin angle works well it looks really aggressive
