It had some issues.
Still working on bottom, thinking about maybe changing fin setup, but it worked well as a single.

It was in pretty bad shape, I almost sent it to the landfill, then I got inspired to try to revive it.

I had a delam - mashed in spot on the deck, and I wasn't real happy with my repair, so I repurposed an old aloha shirt as a cover up. I normally like to do this under glass, but in this case I just lammed the shirt on top.

The Aloha shirt looks very good. Well done.
The last picture looks nice and shiny. Did you give it a fresh (rolled) coat ?
thanx - yeah, I filled / sanded a lot of little dings and pressure dents, then sanded everything and rolled a very thin coat. I did a tinted coat first over the deck patch area (before I added the fabric band). It'll get wetsanded by hand to 600 or 1000, but probably not polished. Right now its back in the garage awaiting its turn to get the bottom finished, hopefully soon.
Love it.
all the best

Thnx. Up close & personal it's nothing to write home about, but at least its presentable. I need to order more resin, and make a decision on fins, to finish the bottom.
What happened? Did it spend a 100 degree plus Summer in the Bako hell fire? Gonna a take a 2xx extra large Aloha shirt for that bottom.
That which can be assorted without evidence was read in an illegal magazine.
Lowell- that is exactly what happened! The bottom won't get the fabric coverup, but I may get motivated to try a few more pinlines just to dress it up a bit. I bought some fin plugs to convert it to a quad, and some FGH epoxy resin to finish it up. I marked my plugs & carefully freehand routered the wells, resined them in place, & ready for a tail patch lam.

I had a lot of ideas for cleaning up the bottom, but they all involved more resin and more weight. This board has always been more workhorse than show pony anyway. I mean, I wouldn't be embarrassed to hang it on my wall like this, but deck side out. So prolly just wet sand and call it good. Take it out & put some more dings in it, haha.
