Condition wise this board was in fair condition. There were numerous dings on the rails. With small areas of delam on the nose and under the fin. There are a number of large water stains, mainly on the bottom and on the rails.

PREPPED FIN

The fin needed to be removed to repair the areas of delam either side of the stringer.

REBONDING UNDER FIN

Resin was poured into the void and clamped. As seen in the previous photo the fin was set into the board. The hole left behind was filled and re glassed.

The fin had two layers of 10 oz cloth added to both sides prior to resetting. The base is 10 1/2" and 8 3/4" high. It is set 1 1/4" from the pod.
