An Adams Retro fish surfboard
with its “Butt crack” repaired…not an endearing term but never the less descriptive,
as this tail design often cracks due to flexing of the two tail pods.
&
Notice the extra glass which was layered to allow for flexing of the tail.
Enjoy Ben:)

Please note my customer had started his own repair using a DIY kit,
I had to remove these inferior poducts before the rebuild could start.

Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race. And with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we set out to share it with the world.

Anyone remember this board? Or this post?
This is the board that launched this blog, way back in the mists of time (July last year). This was the second board I painted, and the one where I decided that painted surfboards were going to be my vehicle to international fame and fortune.
Fast-forward to nowish, and this is board #9. My acrylic skills have improved, apparently so have my top-hat drawing skills and I’ve got an exhibition booked for October! Wheeee!
