Surfing Waves

Posted by ufuk_akinci

Hi Guys,

I really need a help. First of all I gonna type my little surf story.
I bought my surf board in Manly beach Sydney, Australia when I was there for my Language education. I Got directly 6'4" webber afterburner short board and I design it with spray paint by myself. I surfed 2 months in Australia and I came back to Turkey. This is my country and It s not possible to find surfer or surf stuffs in here.I thought It can be possible to surf in Black Sea. It is located just north of Turkey and there is a great waves some times.Anyway I tried to surf and my project was almost succesfull, It was possible to surf. But Black Sea Has low salt percentage and my board has not enougth lifting power. I decided to make a surfboard.My question is comming in this section. I searched lots of information on the internet, but the main problem is to reach the metarials, It s quite difficult to find suitable size of foam
and quality fiber coat. My Questions are;

* If I glued two thin foam to each other for thickness, is It a problem for built my board?
* I didn' t find a long foam for long board, What can I do for that?
* If you are a board stuffs supplyer, Could you help me for find a fin boxes, Fins or ect.

Pleaseee help me for all those problems guys.

Thanks a lot

P.S.: I m the only guy try to surf in Turkey and I need a help. You can find my own board design on the below links

I can't help you with boards but full respect mate

Hope you get it all taken care of.

did you do your own "painting" on that board? you just used generic spray paint, and that was okay???

Can you order stuff from another country?

wow - awesome graphics!

You can get your foam and everything else from these guys.

They pretty much all came from Clark Foam.

umm clark foam are closed

I realize that I live but a few miles away from it and surf with a lot of the guys who ran the place.

US Blanks was started right after Clark Foam closed. The founders are from Clark Foam and use a lot of the same technology.

Hi, I know.. it will be a little bit offtopic, but I have a question for you..
If it's possible to find some surf spots in Turkey in black sea region?
I'll study from february in Samsun and I'll surf there, so I hope that is possible to do that there... So are some surfshops in Turkey, where is possible to buy a surfboard? I'm beginner so I think some longboard will be good...thanks for your reply.. you can write me on mail,or icq...thanks, bye Fossil
