There seems to be a fair few of these boards floating around. This one is the third that I have restored. The last two were shaped buy Geoff McCoy. Some body had set fire to the tail of this one. So the area behind the fin was pretty much destroyed. That is the area where Geoff McCoy had initialed and printed the basic dimensions on the other two boards.
These two photos show the board pre restoration. The rails had been painted and some crude repairs had been attempted around the fin. You can see the black, burnt glass in the photo of the bottom.
The pigment laminate with cut laps has been capped with a layer of 4oz. The new fin was then set on top of the 4 oz. The whole repair was filler coated. All the other dings were repaired, and the board was sanded ready for glossing.
The new fin was made using 10oz Volan glass and general purpose laminating resin. The GP resin was used to achieve the old look. The template is from the original fin.
