Have a Rick, BK pintail, clear '67 with excellent w.a.v.e. set box, ser. nr 503, (laminate slightly off, moved when applied?)
It’s my godson’s and mine winter/spring project.
She was “rode hard and put up wet”,…nose crushed, several rail gouges, bottom pits,…and 3"plus taken off pintai—looks like she kissed a pilingl.
Plan is to sand her, fix all dings, nose and tail, color.
However, where I’m located at I’m having problems finding foam scraps big enough to replace tail. In the tail photo, I’ve circled the areas that had been reshaped, the rail is not the challenge but, the end was reshaped to meet the cut margin. To meet that and the end of the orig. template I need 10"x2"x7"—plus add the stringer glue up.
To meet the challenge of finding a scrap—has anyone made a simple mold and used/shaped the liquid/pour foam? I’ve never used the material.
Manybe you could ask some of the Swaylox foam mowers to mail you a s block or bone off something they are working on Shipping would be very inexpensive.
.the template and the fin box dictate a 1967 BK (fin box being W.A.V.E. set and the ser. nr. reflex the info gleened from Surfing Heritage Mus., and nr. from a sister board (pic attached) just a few nr.'s lower in production
