Default RE: RC Surfer

Hey Bearcave.......it would be simple enough to make a sturdy GoPro mount.......its not going to rotate more than 15 degrees either weay.

Found some time to create the housing today........... in between running the kids around.......still on holiday.

A note for any newbies into custom building......when you glass the inner sides of the housing 'make sure' that the glass laps onto the bottom of the housing all the way around by at 10mm.
If not.......you may find after a while that the /hull.......may start pulling away from the foam around the housing base at the bottom, due to the weight of the running gear / battery and lead weight it is supporting......

I like fimishing with the white flow coat afterwards to neaten the housing up. It also blocks the view into the housing from the bottom.

Once all has dried, I sand the rough edges down flush with the boards deck surface and add the rim.

For those wondering 'why' the pod looks 'bigger'.........this is my new personal board........I am trying something different to hopefully create more rail to rail riding (lean). I am hoping that the bigger pod will generate more lift in the turns and allow the board to lean even more, onto the turning rail.
