Pismo camping is SOLD OUT for the weekend. Gonna be a rager.

 

This board is super old! Main reason I want to do it is cause there is a good section where the foam is about 3/4''-1'' lower than the stringer, and I'm tired of sitting on the damn stringer. So my plan of attack is going to be to peal the skin back, resin in some new foam to fill the indents, sand it down to be even, and reattach the fiberglass? Should be easy enough. haha

 

Yeah...your plan sounds good. So, for filling, you're planning on using Microballoons then? If so, remember that stuff is heavier than undamaged foam so, you don't want to fill it in too thick with that stuff.
I could be wrong but, if the board is delaminating, you might have to remove the old and reglass that area. I'm no pro at fixing surfboards but, I've done my fair share of home repairs.

I used to love those home projects. I'd set up the horses with padding, lay the board down, get materials, knife & sander out....go to town. lol

When I get home...I'll try to see if I can locate an old photo haha

 

Negative on the Microballoons. I found a place where I can get all different sizes of foam in different thicknesses. I'm just going to get an over sized piece resin everything together and sand it down to line everything up. It's been hit or miss for me with the delam when using old glass. I'm going to try and use the old stuff, if it doesn't work, then I'll reglass it.

Haven't worked on boards in a while so this should be interesting.

 

Ohh ok. Nice!

Well, good luck...I'd offer to help but I'm in an office all day. I have an hour to workout, eat, and get back to the office.

 

Thanks Theo but this isn't happening today. I'm an office rat Mon-Thur as well. This is will have to be a weekend project, and with no swell in sight this would be the perfect time!

 

Only 4 days a week?! How did you score that sweet deal?
I had to sign up for 5 days a week

 

Over the past weekend, I found out that I can still skateboard...
I'll probable take me a couple days of practicing to get pop shovits & kickflips back but....I still got it!

 

Yeah I'm pretty lucky. I work 4/10s so I gets 3 day weekends every week! definitely helps out for the fun weekend trips through cali!


Spotted motoman. or rather you spotted me? Haha Hopefully you weren't going into Vons cause it was a shit show in there! Worse time to go, I know, but it's Friday for me and I needed some beer and chicken for the bbq!

 

I get on mine every now and then but don't get too crazy. I have a little short cruiser that I like to just street surf on to the bar. Haha. Still fun as all hell!

 

Yep, I was going to go to a different spot but then I saw the truck and just had to park next to it! I decided to shop early for all my Pismo supplies… It wasn't too bad.

 

I like the "Oh yeah" written in the dust of your tailgate. I was going to write some shit but since I've never met you I didn't want you to think ill of me. Haha.

Last time someone wrote something on my tailgate in the dust it wasn't cool! Lol!

 

Chris do ou ever ride the bike around?

 

Of course! Porque?

Do you ever drive your new truck around?

 

Haha no just been riding the bike ):


Trucks not on jackstands anymore though!

 

Awesome. I'll have to ride the bike over and check it out.

 

Just ordered my lift. Thanks for your help everyone! Icon progressive AAL and ill be getting adjustable bilsteins up front in the future.

 

I'm glad you were able to decide on the parts best suited for the lift you want. I have heard good things about the Icon Progressive 3 Leaf AAL & had Bilstein 5100's on my 04. I think you'll be happy with your purchase.
