Weirdo
This weekend, I started becoming quite fond of this board. (Pictures below were taken from Ebay where I bought the board two years ago.) I am growing a little concerned, however, that a 30-year-old board is more fragile than I think and I should not be surfing this thing. I'm starting to have dings open up. The glass underneath is kind of the consistency of the center of a Butterfinger bar. I might have to do some fixing before it goes out again. Any insight from the shapers and glassers out there?

..and please can you take a couple of measurements for me of that board?
thickness at 1´ and 2´ from the nose on the stringer and 2´´ from the outline
you need a big calipper to do that
thank you
I appreciate that
I'll try to get pictures and measurements next week. This weekend, I'm off to Vegas, baby!
Wow, Rod Stewart's old band shaped your board!?!?? It's a collector's item. But really, it's approaching wall hanger status I think. You could have a duplicate made easy enough for regular use.
you may have hit the point where the glass n foam have a tenuous bond. Fixiting it would be like finxing plumbing.. fix one part, and it breaks the part it's attached to.. the domino effect. You could go for a full restore if you really love it...
BTW - the bonzer idea for a longboard may be wortha try after talking with the Campbell Bros.. at least on a performance type longy...
