Yes , Huck !

Lately your renovations of old boards ( as opposed to me stripping off glass and reshaping my found roadkill…)

 

And a photo of P.T.  with a single fin fish , with 'stabilisers ’ ( which I will hopefully find , again ?)

 

… My project …


Ding repairs to do

Fin rovings to grind down

FCS plug holes to holesaw

Fin box to rout out…

 

 

 

 


(ding repairs to do…

PLENTY more on the rails , and tail too !

YIKES ! )



You’ll probably make it look like new!  Yellow tint is easy.

Thanks for the vote of confidence , Lowel !

I hope so , but ,  if not , the main plan is to get it 100 percent waterproof and attempt to surf it.

Its previous owner , Rod ,  is shorter , stockier , stronger than me…and nearly ten years younger.

When he , like me , also injured his meniscus ( same knee), he gave me this board , as he bought himself a slightly thicker version DHD fish ( a quad ).

 

 This yellowfish only had one keel on it, at that stage. Rod is pretty tough on his boards. ( I want mine to LAST for as long as possible…)

 

Cheers !

 I definitely want to play around with various sized single fins , and different sized one tabbed side fins / finlets , on this boatd , once it is waterproof enough …

I like that little fin closest to the camera.  Did you make that.

Cheers Lowel !

Yes , that’s one of 20 or so little one tabbed fin templates that I’ve made …

I hope he still comes here ?
