It's taken me ages to sort out my board given (a) night shifts and (b) lack of sunshine to melt all that wax...but finally she is displayed in all her naked de-waxed glory:
You'll notice all the little dents along the surface of the board. These pressure dings are the sign of a well loved surfboard and are caused by anything really...my body parts or car, someone else's body parts or car, walls, shelves etc etc. Essentially it's proof I don't sit in watching TV all day!You'll also notice the little lump of wax at the far end. Yes, it's pink. It was a rushed purchase.
Luckily it's gone on transparently so I don't have a pink board...but it smells of strawberries. Not real strawberries either. That synthetic vanilla-esque scent that is usually aimed at children.
On the plus side it's really sticky...took it out in Puttsborough last week and had a lovely little surf in very nice conditions (see photo).
Hopefully the smell will wear off...not sure if I can be bothered to de-wax and re-wax all over again!
