…believe me , when I say a board is beyond saving , it really , REALLY is !! [most boards I have salvaged and resurrected from the dump , people couldn’t believe it ! ]
but these were BAD , trust me …
the fins , however were saveable …one was almost a keel size !

…why not shove a fin on one (stuff fixing the dings.) and go to the bargain shop and buy a can of spray paint for $2.75.

I never surf after 8 am, its the dawn patrol or nothing. But today as i walked my daughter to school, the blue sky, and almost non existant offshore wind got me thinking. While at the park with my other 2, i noticed a few boards on cars heading to a spot near me, which is pretty popular ( crowded !! ).
I got home, and left my sick wife with the youngest 2, and headed out to my fave spot, expecting some fun waist high peelers. What did i find?? little overhead, low tide, one guy out, walling up pretty much to shore. Straight out and got some of the best waves i've had for ages. I dropped in late on one, and was going so fast down the face i was skidding like mad. When i hit the bottom i looked up at the feathering lip and the wall, but as i leant it over, it just washed out under me, just way too fast. I hit the sand and it wasn't fun but it made me stay out longer to get another one. I managed to get a few screamers all the way to the beach, which doesnt happen that often here.
Just pure dumb luck everything lined up for me today. I got spaghetti arms, and im tired. Love it
