Hi Doggie, I beleive Base may have gone belly up.
Swaylocks website is the place for such questions, lots of very experienced people there.

Wow I havnt heard that!! I was on the wesbsite yesterday and nothing seemed strange, I will dig deeper..

The point of the different weaves is to have flatter strands of composite material the more the glass/carbon/aramid tows kink/weave the "weaker" they are, as well as some of the weaves are also better at conforming to contours than others.

I wouldn't build a board with a satin weave personally - I think it would be a nightmare it will conform to some shapes better but you can also pull strands around fare easier and when you do you edge trimming could be pretty daggy.

All weaved cloths have fibres running in 2 directions, if you want a cloth with a fibre running in a single direction you need to use a uni directional

Almost all boards are built with the cloth directions down and across the board/stringer. Personally I'd like to see a single layer uni down the board and then a +/- 45 diagonal layer with no fibre running at 90° to the stringer (waste of time imo). So that you control the flex with the uni and the impact/load with the off axis material.

Blinding reality is no mater what you build a board out of it will have the ability to crease and snap, part of this is a function of the core.

Hope they are doing well, my source has never been reliable. We need as many healthy Australian manufacturers as possible.

When I was in QLD in Feburary I went into the Coolie store and you could not fit another board in there it was fully stocked and heaps of secondhand stuff as well.
I think they are doing ok P co
