    You are probably aware that the epoxy used in many carbon fiber products degrades very quickly when exposed to UV light. Furthermore, the plastics used in the kitfox windows block very little UV. Are you planning to carpet over them?

    I asked Brian (windsurf board builder who is helping with the CF) about the UV issue, and his reply was that the resin/epoxy that he is using is made for high UV exposure. I have seen many of his boards that were build using the same method, which have many seasons of use/abuse, and they all look great as far as the resin is concerned.
