Surfing Waves

how hard is it to glass a set of fins back onto a board? i only have $40 to spend on anything that floats for myself and the only thing i can find is for and comes with fins that have to be put back on and has kids doodling all over it. should i go for it?

NO, no and NO! Look elsewhere.

Thanks so much for the advice. Hearing that I will definitely keep looking. It's just its kind of hard to know whats worth it for so little money.

Unless you know what you are doing its not worth it as it is alot of work.

Thanks to everyone hear for all the advice. I told the quy what you good people told me, and I was able to get the guy to agree to trade for it. So now it's only gonna cost me a rod and reel that I have had forever. Well, that and whatever it will cost to get the fins put back on. I'm still on the lookout for a good vintage longboard for around $100 in the Pensacola area.

OK Wormy you've caught your first board, pictures of your trade as your saga is now beginning to get interesting

Yes I did. And I will definitely post some pics so everyone can laugh at me and my new "board". It may be the lamest thing to ever float on water but I will definitely cherish it like it cost a grand. It will definitely be interesting, you are afterall reading the posts of a guy who purposefully uses 1950's fishing equipment. But I really do hope that I can keep getting awesome advice from the good folks here. Thanks again everyone.

I started surfing in 1958 and if you can get hold of anything from that era you will be sitting on a gold mine, think balsa for starters asfoam was a rarity!
