SUP General / What is wrong with this picture?

« on: July 18, 2019, 05:46:41 AM »

We have all seen newbies doing something backwards when it comes to surfing like waxing the bottom of the board. 

Sunday sitting with my family at the beach I look over and spot the big fin on backwards,  and when I mentioned this, my wife said all three fins are backwards of which I had missed.

I do not like the shaming that people have to endure when they do this so I thought I would politely point this out.

I had seen three women floating on this earlier so I went over to let them know they had got the fins in wrong.

I was told no this is the only way they can fit and that was the instructions given, when I tried to say that I have surfed for a long time the other person told me "well this is not a surfboard it is a paddleboard".
Anyhow I think I got the message to them but I cannot say they were pleased with it.

Thanks Creek, I think your right that with tutorials and advice given that I could get the board back in the water. I am trying to carve out the time for this and if not I will hand it off to a professional.

After reading your comments Pono and looking back at the way I cut the glass I can say it looks bad and I should take your advice and pass this on to a proper repair person.

Now to sound like a real gremmie the foam block has to be EPS specific? I been holding on to some styrofoam blocks that came with a computer and was hoping to use that.  Man it has been a long time since doing any serious repair, like before surf cords.

Thanks for all the advice on this and whether I do this repair or pass it on I learned some things here like not surf with Creek on Cape Cod.

Though do you think it is any better up in Maine.

I have a unique situation with my board.  Storing this board at my brothers beach house this board was placed near the roof of an uninsulated out building. So the area where there was a black strip down the middle heated up and melting the foam.

I am hoping I could get some ideas on how best to approach a repair.

What ever I do will be covered with a deck patch which I already ordered.

I have this Naish Mana For sale and if you are looking for a board that surfs well but also is steady with some wind and cross chop this could be a good choice.  I only used it only three times so it is in very good condition.
