I had recently picked up a old beat up long board to repair and it seems like a pretty easy fix however it weighs about 40 pounds and I’m not sure why. There seems to be no water coming out of the holes and it’s been sitting in a shed for years. I was looking online and couldn’t find anything really, does anybody have any ideas on what to do?
I don't know if I could paddle a 40lb board or if I could even turn it. How about some pics and dems?
Is it about a 9 6 or bigger, they were heavy to begin with,Clark foam used to have a 3.9 pound density foam for big boards ,pu foam, polyester resin maybe a tail block and a built up stringer all adds up ,but water will saturate a board and will not evaporate then its a fungus or stuff in it and it adds weight
I picked up a 9 6 donald takayama last spring ,when i first picked it up musta weighed forty pounds Took it home stripped all the glass off it still took several days for the foam to dry Now its about 25
Repairs can get ugly and way too heavy when they dont need to be I Use foam when i can then go to Qcell which has to be mixed with resin i use it for different repairs like around FINBOXES When all else fails saw the board into pieces small enough to fit Into trashcan
