Garage Works - 2/1/2026

I had traded my pristine 5'9" Firewire Cymatic for a 5'10" version.  The extra liters should help me get more out of this design.  The unfortunate thing is this board had several small imperfections.

I sanded the dings/scratches/imperfections and placed a small amount of epoxy to make sure those areas got filled.

I'll pull the peel ply, wet sand the spots to blend, then spray a clear coat.

Here is the bottom deck being prepared -


And the top deck with the fill added and covered by peel ply.


Other angle to see the other spots


And while I was at it, I sanded the "dry spot" which I think is more a slight ding from the guy who I got this from not protecting the board.

I'll do the same thing - sand and spray.

Then these two boards will be up to par with my standards.


And I also got some Marine Grip on to No.43 - this will help during takeoff.


I also got a few stickers on - this board is ready to take on the world!!!
