Hey I just bought an old (1970's) single fin. the boards seen better days but is still water tight and surfable. I really want to restore it myself because i just dropped out of school and have a lot of time on my hands. I glassed before but never a surfboard. what suggestiongs would you guys give me to restore this thing to look really nice and ensure its strong enough to surf for a couple more years?
