$400 for a custom with airbrush, s cloth, quad FCS2 boxes and an amazing glass job?
I love it. If it doesn't work, I can resell it for $250-300, but this one feels pretty magic so far.

I have 2 chronics now, along with a Pyzel XTR, Stretch and an FCD. Will probably add another Chronic fish or egg.

Do you swear on your mother-in-law's grave on that 4-oz S layer on top?

I have a 1998 (or something) PU board that I'm getting ready for to hit the water soon. My friend who doesn't have the time for surfing gave it to me. Gotta repair it a bit, then it will be floaters and 360s ALL DAY LONG!
6'4" (some of the beak is missing, so 6'2" by now) 18 1/2" 2 3/8" classic measurements :)

I say you N_S that fvcker by cutting 6" off the front and re-shaping it into a torpedo nose. Then do a 2" tail chop and re-glass. Proceed to film yourself making a bunch of lips your bitch and put it to some Norwegian Death Metal :jamon:

This.

Transport in a bag that blocks light.
Don't let it bake in the car.
Don't leave it cooking out in the sun.
Store in a closet or bag that blocks light.

A lot of people have a lot of difficulty with this for whatever reason.
Try surfing in the southeast, and your board is going to get baked


I just went for a PU ghost after surfing at 8 really good session on a poly board over the weekend... such a timely post

Chronic? Youre gonna give GG an aneurysm
Hey !
At least it isn't another board with ---- Futures ! :)

I've sent glass workers here to look at Akila's boards glassed by Otis to see what can be

Not always as good due to constant change in workers over the years like most shops

But these were the highest level fine sands , pretty much equal to Ron Maize's work

If it doesn't work you could paint pen the laurel wreath gold and a proud boy would probably give you $350.
