Haha it’s your board, do what you want. For the record, I never said sand it out. I said that’s what I would be thinking about doing if it were my board. Especially cuz you said there are 2 layers, and the bubbles are between the layers of fiberglass.
I’m not a pro or an expert, I’ve only built a couple dozen boards in 10 years of doing this. I don’t build showroom finish surfboards.
But on the other hand, I have also done a fair amount of repair and refinishing, I know how to sand, and I wouldn’t screw it up. I sand by hand with a sanding block, and have a lot of control, experience & confidence. I also have a lot of sandpaper and sanding blocks, lol.
I can and do live with a lot of imperfections in my boards. But little bubbles or dry spots in the lam is one of those things that would bug me enough to do something about. That’s just me… if you can just live with it, by all means do so. I’m pretty sure it won’t affect performance
I have no doubt someone else could attempt to sand it out and screw it up. I try not to tell people what to do or not do, but I dont mind sharing what I do, or might do. In the end, you have to pick your own path and live with the consequences.
Whatever you do, keep us updated with pics. I think a few of us are curious now what you’re gonna do, & how it turns out. And I for one would love to see more pics & details of the board & hear about how you came to pick this shape.
BTW, surfing is pretty restricted here in so. cal too. There are spots I could go to and surf, but I’m taking this very serious. It is a pandemic. For now, I only leave the house to check on my elderly mother in law, buy gas, or go to the grocery store. Hopefully we will get past this, and surf again in the near future.
