Excellent work as always. I've had my eye on one of those Pueo OC-1's. Nice boat for a big guy. 
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Thanks guys really appreciate all the compliments - never knew i would go this far in the industry and working on some well respected guys and Lady's  in the sport. A lot of time goes into each repair, I was never motivated by money as we have another business that pays the bills ;), only quality and the challenge.  I fell into this after I sold a few kayaks  bought two TAHOE sups that were damaged. I called around looking for a repair guy on stand ups, all the local shops didn't know of anyone in my area, the couple of surf repair guys said they can repair it but not match the
Color. I Made one trip to fiberglass Hawaii got the materials and went to work. I put an add on Craigslist to see if there was a need and there was, here I am almost 3 years later. All my glass work was all self taught in my buddy's back yard 10 years ago, so needless to say I do this as a side gig. I did consider stopping a couple of times but I think I'll be here for awhile   8)

I love it and honestly this is a serious service actually because all of these would be landfill much sooner without your services. This is keeping these boards on the after which is a pretty good thing for the environment long term.

One board fixed is a lot of materials and transport carbon that doesn't get replaced with a new one. Kudos.

They are still trashing them NEW. I got a call from a customer of mine sayings his brand new SIC Board has a leaking vent plug and if I can fix it - Sure bring it by. A couple days later he said that SIC said they will Warranty it as long as he cuts it into 3 pieces, that's nuts.

Crazy to think that most of these boards can be fixed and people trash them - my question to myself was, who is fixing all these boards and what are people doing with them if I had a hard time finding a repair guys.

We were On vacation - 3 weeks on the road in our Toy hauler exploring Ca - Eastern Sierras, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Lake Almanor and everything in between.

This bark Prone got slammed into the rocks 3  times before the owner could get it .
Full restoration with lots of time into it / some things I do out of pure passion and the love of what I'm doing, this board and the story meant a lot to the Owner,
This one was on me.  :)

Amazing workmanship. I do a lot of glasswork and fabrication--just for fun and because I break stuff. Sometimes I really give finish work a go, and I've had some decent results. Normally I'm happy with doesn't leak and not too lumpy. Blending and matching takes sooo much time. And I've never had results like yours. Kudos.
