Roberts Epoxy Technology Kite board construction

RET-KB constructed boards start with 1.7lb EPS stringered blanks from Marko Foam. Wider than standard stringers, made from 6 mil Poplar are used for added strength. Glassing consists of the highest quality epoxy resins and fiberglass. Our standard glassing schedule for RET-KB stock or custom boards is two layers of 6oz fiberglass on the deck and a layer of 4oz and a layer of 6oz fiberglass on the bottom. To add more strength and control flex, 3” wide aircraft grade carbon strips are glassed down the full length of the stringer on both sides of the board.
