Thanks for the advice.

I don't know if it will work for the leftover pad glue but if I use chemical, I found a few websites that talk about adding flour once you start removing the material. This is for adhesive stickers so it may not be the same for pad glue. I'll let you know how this goes.

Replacement EVA foam deck pad / traction pad for SUP

Looking for advice on where and what to buy for replacement pad material. Or any tips on removal, re-installation and cutting. I'm thinking that I'd like to get my hands on a large sheet and cut it to match the factory shape. The padding on this board is quite thin and I'd like to stick with that th...

Proposed dock at 3884 Hammond Bay Rd.

For any Nanaimo Area residents who might care about the appearance of the Hammond Bay Beach Area: Tom Harris, is applying to put a dock for him and his buddies out into Hammond Bay. This would be the first such structure and as you might be able to tell, I'm not a fan. If you share my opinion, we ha...

Thanks for the feed back guys. Consensus seems to be skip the MRI so I cancelled the appointment. We'll see what the surgeon suggests on Wednesday and go from there. The words of wisdom are motivating and I think I will be re-reading them over the next while to keep me on the fitness train.

ACL Injury?

First day up Mt Washington end of Feb and wrecked my knee on a lame blue groomed run. Did my ACL and MCL. The ortho at Comox emerg. didn't "class" the injuries but said "they're gone". So I have a first appointment with an orthopediac surgeon in Nanaimo at the end of this month a...

So Kus, this is what it says on the AC website. Where's the catch? Won't they treat it as a surf board? edit: Dohhh. Probably the length and length+width+height. Surfboards are accepted on a space available basis only and should be pre-registered at time of booking. Each surfboard counts as one piec...

if you're going to try shipping to the US to keep costs down, think about shipping to a place called TBS in Point Roberts. Don't know if they do surfboards but they are pretty inexpensive and it's pretty easy to skip over on the Duke Point boat to grab it. Let me know what you do in case I catch the...

Also present were the Nanaimo RCMP sta...

G

what are your dates?


We'll be there November 30 to December 13 but staying on the other side of the island. This is a family trip but I'm hoping for a few days on the water.

Saul.

Me thinks you are learning to waterstart a windsurfer. Correct? -in which case, my opinion is that the gear threat is not as great as Marty describes unless you are trying to do this in bigger waves or stronger winds. If you choose your day wisely, a SE could offer decent conditions as long as you f...
