Core cleaned up and trimmed.......

Carbon mounting pads fitted.........

Neoprene laminate both sides....

used a thicker Neoprene - give Bro 'more body

Looks even better on the board..

off to wardrobe and make up.......

Its all important for the surfer dude to be set with its buoyancy "off centre"- if not - you could end up with the boards 'not righting' - as the rotation cant be initiated if the buoyancy is dead centre.

I set my surfers buoyancy to the right rail ( in the design of bro's stance) so that the board rotates when self righting in the same direction as the props rotational torque. In very windy conditions, it always helps to use the prop rotational torque to help recovery....
