Thanks, yes it's inevitable that air will get in now and then. Amazing that she never turns over don't speak to soon.
Michiel how do I pronounce Lex's surname, I would like to credit him with inventing the monoskier. Lex Verkuijl .
Easiest solution would be to go to Google translate, type in his name, set to Dutch language and press play (speaker)
It is correct, just checked it

Thank you it worked, not what I was expecting 
In the 70-ties of last century mankind tried to develop Esparanto as a unified world language, which was not picked up.
We have to deal with different ways of pronouncing words and names
Google translate recently got a huge upgrade for a lot of languages, among other Dutch. It is becoming very good compared how it used to be.

My latest project is a wake board. It was heavy from the printer but by the time I had taken off all the support it was much lighter. Got it painted last thing so it can dry overnight, pearlised white .
I need 2 foils for it ,can print tomorrow . It might be ready to try at the open day on Saturday.

Nice
Tried her twice at the open day, she did work but only if I kept the speed high. Then I realised it is because she is too heavy, so I will have to put her on a diet.
Or get the dremel out.
The open day was a big event lots turned up, even a reporter from the Yorkshire evening Post. My monoskier was very popular it got a bit exciting at times as I weaved through all the yachts.

Very cool looking!
Just drove along a cable wakeboarding park, reminded me of your latest creation

One problem area has been at the back where I had filled an area to prevent water getting in. The filler had contracted leaving small gaps, so wht to do, after some time I decided the whole area would look better covered. So a paper template was made followed by 2 printed panels, these were covered like the deck to make two stepping areas. I used a silicone to fix in place so they can be removed if I need to get in the back. Funny how your eye is drawn to the bad bits, hopefully that's one less
My first try at editing, not perfect, but with practice I should improve
This is not the main wake boarding film, but for die hard fans it's worth watching, I find it relaxing and the reflections add interest. Not sure why it stops video before it's supposed too.
Yesterday's attempt to get a wake boarder eye view ended in failure , dragging an expensive camera around underwater gets a bit scary, so gave up.
So latest idea, I will mount it right up front on the blue rib and tow that round on a long line, yellow, same colour as the wake boarder tow line.

Just noticed that you tube show my 1080p film at 360p unless I click settings then advanced and alter it to 1080p , it makes a difference. It won't let you set this permanently for all films it has to be done each time. Guess the system would get overloaded.
