can a board be "beyond repair"

Postby surfwill38 » Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:31 pm

Probably a stupid question, but I have a 6' fish that I love surfing but through the years she has taken on some dings here and there that I might bot have goten to before a bit of water got in. There are a few brown spots in a couple places but nothin to crazy. Alsyo there is some delam I intend on fixing. Myquestion is this If there is a board that is too waterlogged or whatever to be repaired, how do u know?

I had a magic board shaped by Al Merrick and I never wanted it to die. It did get to a point when I knew it was time to get rid of it. You can keep fixing old boards, but they do lose their liveliness, and ding repair also adds weight. I think you will now when its time to let go.
