Taking a Break

I've been working late the past few days - I actually wanted to get a winging session in, BUT it was a really low tide and by the time I got to the beach I knew I wouldn't have much time out on the water.

I figured I'd just sit and watch Norm and Roland get some good turns in.

Norm was out on No.38 - first time winging with it and he said it was doing well for him.


I hung out to ask them how the session was - then I went home to finish the SK8 950 repair.

I rough sanded it with 40 grit using the random orbital sander.  Then I used 220, then used the solid paint marker, then redid the 220.

I finished with 320-400-600-1000-1500


It feels as strong as the original (same sound produced as the other side when tapped).


This is smoother than it looks


Sucks that the wingtip got crushed to begin with - but pretty darn satisfying to get something repaired well.
