Haha! Love the creative sense of humor!!

Epoxy does snap clean, but $150 for the board and $150 for repair I'd just search out a clean used log for $300.

I was right.

That's a man stuck in the denial phase of grief. He bought that board and broke on a wave that I can't remember being big enough to snap that thing so clean and he's trying get someone to give him some money for it even though he knows it's trash. 150 repair? It will never ride the same and break again on a duck dive.

pretty funny ad.... but if actually did pay a grand for that thailand pop-out he got robbed.

He's in the wrong section. He should be in furniture sales. Need a a set of cool authentic surf board coffee tables? How about one of those Adirondack chairs made from a very famous Thai surfboard factory?

I've seen adirondack chairs with surfboard backrests. Pretty nice. The breaks can definitely be repaired. ET fixed one of mine like a brick $hithouse. I also took an old Blue Hawaii that had been reassembled to Costa, left it with a friend. When a Playa Hermosa mega-lip karate-chopped it, the board broke in a new spot, about 6" past the original repair. The hard part of the fix is getting the rocker and the weight/balance right with all that repair work in one spot.

Props (or sympathy) to anyone who can duckdive a board that big!

yep, a properly repaired board wont break in the same spot..... a long time ago I had a board I really liked.... broke the nose in 3 different places

yes I agree but it's a McTavish OMG sad!

PERFECT!!

But they do get much weaker on the feather line of the repair cloth. Gotta take some of the old to get the new smooth.



-------------------------
I was right.

well yeah... that's where they usually break the next time but I would try to overlap a good bit of hotcoat resin to avoid the oversanding..... luckily I havent had to do this in a long time. I'm over doing ding repair..... I have a finbox I need to fix on a new board that ive put off for weeks..... not that there's been a need for this particular board

Heard that. I did tens of thousands of repairs and my current boards have electrical tape on them.

The cloth can be laid in a wedge shape so there isn't a strait line to sand across the board, but feathering always makes them weaker.

I was right.

I saw my beloved old bing bronzer put back together in Costa Rica and ready to be rented. Weighs about forty pounds and has a that straight across white scar in the blood red pigment. It's like pointing out a playmate from the 60's at a nursing home now.
