While the wind has been absent, finished a little rhinoplasty on old Naish Freestyle board. (245 -> 235 cm) and tuned the nose a bit on my old Protech (258 -> 228) wave board
That's very kind. That's much better than the idea I had which was to wait until late October, temporarily rent a store front and sell them as costume boards.
If you look very closely, the workmanship isn't quite factory standards and matching any sort of board color is impossible (I'm looking at you Mistral pea green) with the Crayola set of spray paints HD has. But, it's fun and keeps the juices flowing until the windy day when I can take these out.
Just saw a Naish 2020 board, Starship 115. Nose looks vaguely familiar
Seems like it was worth the effort to update the nose. My Naish is very flat bottomed so not so good on chop but has a lovely skatey feeling. There are some bottom cut outs that are interesting and may solve the flat bottom issue.
You should start selling these as custom boards.
What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

It's a good thing the board has foot straps, otherwise how would you know which end is which
....Your skills are improving, good job!

Next on the program: Mistral Flow 284. 284x59 115 liters. Chop off about 50cm and convert to tri-fin. I already bought the A boxes and side fins (K4).
