Stewart rebuild

[cold_blooded]

Ok. I am new and wanted to post this with two intentions; 1 for informational purposes, 2 for any advice.

What I have is a 10' Stewart, at least that is what it measures. It was given to me by a customer of mine with some serious delam and nose damage. An idiot before tried injecting EXPANDING FOAM to fix it and as you could imagine, it just made it worse. My plan is to strip the whole top smooth it back out, plane the stringer, reshape the nose and reglass it. That is a summarized version.

Any advice??? Besides.....not worth it. Worst case senario is that I am teaching my son how to surf next summer and this will be good for that.

Also, does anybody know about how old this board is?

Thanks,
Vince

I rode the board once and the spot where the person injected the expanding foam really bugged me.

I stripped the top of the board and found that the nose was even more damaged than I thought. In the end I just stripped the entire board. The bottom peeled of really clean, the foam was left really smooth. The top was left pitted, so I am going to have to thin down the top about 1/8th of an inch. Not too bad. A good friend of mine who shapes boards is going to help me save it.

I will keep you posted.
