Down Time Repairs...

So, there's not been a lot happening in the water for the last week or so.. time for a nice break. I for one have actually enjoyed a week off, a week of no numb feet, no ice cream sinuses and no floggings across the rocks of the point and another spot (not mentioning any names) that i've hit the bottom at more than once this winter!

Also it was a good time to get my boards MOT'd, this winter has not only taking its toll on my ageing body but also my boards. I'd seen a few pictures on Magic Seaweed of what looked like some pretty amazing Surftech repairs by a guy called Lee so thought i'd give my precious commodities to him for a good going over.

Basically my board went from this...


To this....


This board had a bloody great crack through the deck under my front foot and two internal cracks running though it as well. It has come back looking like new, not only that but he's touched up all the other little nicks and dings that it had as well.

So the moral of this story is... if you want your boards repaired perfectly, by a nice guy and all for a bargain price check http://dingdevils.blogspot.com/ you will thank me for it!

Cheers Lee, can't wait to get back in the water! Here's to some little waves this week.
