surgical precision

The Balsa Restoration was like a surgical procedure, Roger carefully removed the rotten pieces and stitched it all back together, The man is a surfboard surgeon, The finished product is awesome, The 60 year old balsa looks beautiful all reshaped and reglassed, I like !, Micro*

restoration or rebuild

A very special Wooden Surfboard restoration project is about to get underway, Roger is taking on a mammoth project for a very special Surfline Customer, This Balsa board was found in a paddock in the South Island of NZ many years ago, Roger thinks it is a circa 1950's American made board, After splitting the blank Rog found the timber to be dry and free from rot, So that is a good start to this restoration project, Micro*
