Surftech tidy up


Nothing structural just a good tidy up to get rid of badly done paint repairs and unsightly scratches. These boards will last years if keep on top of repairs and keep the water out.
We use industrial paints and laquers for a super solid finish. Good as new.

Naughty dog!!!!!!


He used to be quite well behaved and always stayed close to the workshop door but just lately has been taking himself on two hour missions across the fields. Obviously looking for something more amusing than watching me swearing at surfboards all day.
This was the little bugger after a good telling off. I had just spent the past hour wandering around the devon countryside trying to find him. Naughty dog!!!!

Firewire repair deck de-lam

Firewire with multiple deck de-lams injected with epoxy and vacuum bagged to get everything to sit down again. I swear my crappy phone pic's are getting more blurred each day. Probably something to do with the sticky resin build up over the lens.

Resin 8 repairs

Resin 8 surfboard repair. Fin plug damage.
New HD foam and inner glass vacumed on.
Outer glass

Primer on and ready for paint.
Turned out to be a real hard colour to match up. The guy that mixes our paints up can usually get them spot on but spent a good hour scratching his head over this one. Close but no cigar.

More courier carnage



I have a bit of a love hate thing going on with couriers. How many days i have wasted waiting for a delivery between 7am and 8 pm only to have my item arrive smashed to bits at 7pm.
On the other hand they do keep a steady flow of busted boards coming through the workshop.

Meltdown!

Poly resin and eps are not the best of friends.
