Building a Surfboard

I'm finally starting the surfboard project, and I've just completed
the surfboard shaping stand out of 2x4's, pipe foam, and a steel
sawhorse. I'm using 2" XPS Dow blue foam, the same stuff I made models
from in design school, and I picked up fiberglass supplies today. I'll
do the shape design in CAD and print out a template on a plotter, and
I'm going to design the fins in Rhino and get rapid prototypes made
and glass them in.

Camelbak Test Team Cycling Kit


Awhile back I was asked to design a new cycling kit for the CamelBak office, which turned out to be a bigger investment in time than we had all originally thought due to some internal politics. Eventually, we settled on a design (notice the bottle in the back pocket) and had the digitally printed apparel made by Capo in Italy...
