should I buy "new" Pyzel

Postby surferdude92 » Wed Mar 16, 2022 2:31 pm

hello guys

I found a a good looking Pyzel, the seller says it is new and has been in the water twice,
Claims the surfboard was hit in the transfer with the airline

There is a picture before the repair and there is a picture after

I'm a little suspicious, why does the repair look yellow? Is there a possibility that he damaged while surfing and water got inside and this is the reason for the yellow colour?

What is the reason not to paint the repair in the same colour of the surfboard?

What do you think?Is it worth taking the risk?

some blanks are made with super white foam and a foam block repair may not match that super white , a spray paint coat under the glassing may hide the damage but it is quite a good clean honest repair , if the price is fair and fair you OK

The price is 20% less than the price of a new board
