THE LAST TWO BOARDS I'VE ORDERED, GLENN MINAMI HAVE USED THE 6'2"F FROM 'SURFBLANKS'. THEY ALSO HAVE A 6'8"F FOR BIGGER BOARDS.

HERE IS THEIR WEBSITE IN THE MAINLAND.

Thanks Gene. Can I have 2 halves from the same board, or do I have to take one from each? :wink:

Havn't been up to P.A. but conditions have been good for it. I usually surf in K-man's neck o' the woods. Preping for a trip south today so I missed getting chased out of the water by the landlord this morning. Geno, I would think that both of those boards would be well worth repairing.

repairs

Post by gene west »

Ken...I take my major repairs to Joe Roper's repair shop...they do great work...I'll fix one and see.I've had some success before but the ledgy,heaving reefs I feature in L.J. can be very unforgiving to repaired broken boards. I used to live in Mendo and surfed P.A. a lot. Killer wave and Anchor Steam on tap across the street, not to mention the steamy hot showers on the pier......

Sounds to me like you'll probably break 'em either way. :lol: :twisted: Better order a couple more.

Would epoxy help? That Stretch board John posted looks pretty cool and Stretch has the epoxy thing dialed. :idea:

Geno, I didn't mean for the repair , Roper is definately the man for that job. I meant for the next new unsuspecting board that you plan on subjecting to that abuse. Poor thing, it hasn't even been made yet, and it's days are numbered.
