I clipped a granite plinth Efoiling - your ride comes to a very abrupt halt. Thankfully the board was fine and the carbon fiber wing had just minor scuffing.

- gilbertbw 3y agoI would be concerned that the carbon fibre has been significantly weakened by the impact. https://www.resinlibrary.com/knowledge/article/can-carbon-fibre-be-repaired/ https://www.resinlibrary.com/knowledge/article/can-carbon-fi... > Since fibre strength significantly exceeds that of the matrix (epoxy), damage usually occurs in the matrix before the fibres for laminate composites. In some instances, this is relatively easy to detect; snapped fibres protruding from the object’s surface. Yet more microscopic damage – something which can spread through the object – is harder to detect even though it can significantly reduce the mechanical properties of the composite.
- flybrand 3y agoI’m concerned, but it’s a hobby where the penalty for failure is getting wet.
