Surfing Waves

I just got this fish the yesterday for £20. Its 5'11 by 19'' and is 2 3/8 inches thick.

It has one dinge and one one the tail which i'm not sure if i can fixs it (i'll post pics soon)

Can't wait to ride it


Sorry about the rubbish quality

Twenty quid? That ding must be where it fell off the back of a lorry

Bargain.

wish i could get one for 20 lucky

Yeah i know. The guy had come back from travelling and he had loads of other boards and couldn't be arsed to fix it.He knows my brother quite well so he just said give us £20 for tonight anthe board is yours.

Here is the pic of the tail dinge



was wondering if a normal dinge kit would do (as ive never fixed one) or to get it professional done.

any advice would be great

It'd be worth getting it done professionally if you want it to look pretty as the tail can be tricky to fix. It would probably cost 20-30 pounds to get it all patched up.

But you could do it yourself - looking at that, you'd need to get a proper ding repair kit (as opposed to a tube of suncure) and strip back a bit if the broken fibreglass then rebuild with some new cloth. Its a bit tricky, and chances are it'll look a little 'lumpy' if its your first try so it depends on how much you want to spend, and how much you care what it looks like.

And if he's got any more boards he wants to offload for 20 quid, let me know...

Oh, pointed nose, narrow tail, single centre fin - thats not a fish!

i thought it looked a odd shape for a fish

Thats what i thought when i first looked at it because fishes usually have a morerounded nose, but he said it was and he had seemed to be pretty expierenced but it turns out he was wrong.

Does anybody know of someone around the south coast are (Bournemouth, Brighton that kind of area) that will fix boards.

funny you should say that, cause the man who shaped this beauty:



lives on the south coast.... and if he's too busy shaping other beauties, I've done a few repairs (not many) so I can give it a go

i think i am going too start counting how many times u post pics of your lush fish timmo

hahhaha if you've got it, flaunt it! ahaha

where abouts in Portsmouth do you live El Timmo

I have found out that my board has alittle hole in it (not all the way through. Would i just fill this in of is there any other process needed.

I live in Fareham actually

Ohh yeah i remember you saying something about it. You should pop into Costa in town one weekend when your not surfing as i work there.

yeah will do matey
