Just Say No

General Discussion

Got home from the beach this afternoon (surf was waist high and clean) and there’s a shiny SUV in my driveway with two SUPs on the roof (fitting, no?).

Turns out to be a woman I know who I’ve done ding repair for in the past. First off, I was not pleased to see SUPs in my yard, period. Secondly, she wanted me to fix a sidebite fin on one of them that a ‘friend’ had busted loose. Looked like FCS plugs. I told her I couldn’t. Made up an excuse. I will not touch SUPs, even if I can make money off them. Go away.

have turned down numerous requests to build those damn things.   I won’t do ding repair on them either.  At least in my neck of the woods, they are a pox on surfing.

Refuse to make 'em and for repair I use the “it’ll never be the same” can’t help you line!

But I can make you a killer SURFboard!!!

Hi ambrose,

Pleae let me change your first rule into:

  1. Buy locally made.

Not only does this rule apply for the rest of the world too, but even america is very to big for this rule.

Apart from that, I couldn’t agree more with all the other rules.

Even being an epoxy guy, I believe it is fair to charge double for epoxy repairs when polyester is what you normally do.
