Firstly I would like to thank everyone on SB for their help and suggestions for getting the grip off!

I got Dave Boyd Imperial to inset a handle in Krisit's board and as usual he did an outstanding job.



Dave can do both polyester (glass) and epoxy boards as well as with grip off and with grip on, yes there is a god.I have seen 3 done now and they are awesome.

The grip looks like this:

The smile I guess says it all!







This is a blatant plug for Imperial



I am having all my paddle boards and longboard guns done as I am sick of the neck ache after each session.

Phill

Good on ya Phil, you should be a proud man!!!

Nice,
Now get out there Kristi n wack n hack
Robbo

BP,

I thought it was an Aussie Flag?

I use a roller to get all the air bubbles out of the grip from center to rail and there are 3 towels to protect the board!

DJ's suggestion to remove the protective paper from a 1 inch strip in the center works a treat to position the grip.

Session suggested to heat the grip slightly and it went on like a dream.

Thanks again to all SBers for their help.

Robo, I am not feeling all that flash so tomorrow I might be on the still and vid so we might get some whack and hack pics of Kristi and all the others.

If I get in the water, I need to work out some aggression its been a bad week lol.


Phill

Hey BL,

Its a real pleasure to surf with Kristi, Nesha and Niki, It keeps the communication path open and they stay fit and always have fun.

Even when the body says no and it does often, the passion they have to get out there means you find another gear.

You will have special days like I enjoy now with Kristi that will last in your mind forever.

You have so much to look forward to BL

How many children have you got Hilly?

2 search the family that sups together stays together and you will see a fantastic smile from my 6 yr old.

Good job phill

It turned out great Phill.. Did you get the balance point right.. or is it tail heavy now that the deck grip is on?

DJ

My daughters smile was that big yesterday when I gave her a new iPhone..

DJ

He is not balding, He is just taller than his hair

I'd call my angle more blunt and realistic than negative. The world unfortunately isn't peachy cream and you just need to be careful - especially on a medium where you are communicating with people who are completely unknown to you.

I don't think being bald, overweight and 40+ is disgusting. Two of these characteristics we can't control.

Oliver, dont take this the wrong way, But are you taking medication for mood swings? I just cant work you out.

Im getting tired of this forum, It was informative and great but why do you insist on flaping those lips and putting people down.

But then i guess you can can you when your behind a computer.

Get over it mate, See a doctor or someone who can talk to you about your anger issues. PLEASE

Hi DJ,

We double sided taped the new grip to the board and then measured the balance point and it is spot on. This may change slightly with different fin sets but I dont think its an issue.
