...Anyone out there know , by any chance ? Just curious , is all.....
[Good ol' council collections , eh ?! ]
Please explain this statement...
Trash day? Junk yard? Garbage can?
Looks like you scored , now get busy and glass that nose back on !
other's hands are at work on it , even as I type ....
"council collection" is just that ...the council collects [ once a year] , your household throw-outs ....
surfboards , skateboards , bicycles, tv's , the occassional video ...
....wish I was an electrician sometimes !
my neighbour collects this stuff , and sells it [as he did with this board]

hey Ben, sounds like a good neighbour to have.
the thruster that Andrew has and rode a bit (????) was about a 6'10 originally but he found it with the nose missing and rounded off. he started riding it like that and it seemed fine. ugly as a bucket of vomit though, especially with that colourful deck and the primitive deck grip.
i know what you're thinking... "who is he to be calling something primitive??"
its a beauty chipper! maybe one day you could give it a respray/revival?
Awesome!
can't wait to hear how it goes.!
hi Josh !
W-E-L-L .....
...this one I ain't touching , gonna ride it as is .
An exercise in self-control.
I often look , wistfully, at photos of boards I should have left alone .
I'll start buying new blanks , from now on [apart from the "kneeboard strip and reshape to a fish job''].
