Cross section through the trailing edge of a wind turbine rotor blade produced from high modulus glass fibre reinforced epoxy over a balsa wood core. The two halves are bonded with two-part epoxy.
Akonite longboard features BComp AmpliTex flax fibre and carbon fibre laminated with epoxy, with a core of ash and balsa wood. Trucks are typically cast aluminium alloy A356 and the wheels polyurethane resin (PUR).
Cross-section through a wind turbine rotor blade, showing the balsa wood core, carbon fibre spar cap top and bottom, shear webs bonded with two part epoxy adhesive, and high modulus glass fibre epoxy skin. Altogether, it makes a very strong, light and enduring structure.
Kun Tiqi surfboard produced from balsa wood with hardwood ends. Made by hand, it is shaped and chambered (hollowed out to reduce weight), before a high strength epoxy glass fibre skin is added.
Yana surfboard constructed from solid competition grade balsa, chambered (hollowed out to reduce weight) and skinned with high-strength glass-fibre-reinforced epoxy (EP-GF).
