Lonny, sorry to hear about your skimmy! post some pics, there's hardly a board that can't be repaired. It all depends if you want to put the time into it. Yeah, I'm looking forward to get that baby out for a ride. But first things first, right now my kids (4 and 6) are working on the art work, I promised them they could help me make the board, and so be it. I'm not an engineer btw, I just love to work with my hands, that's all. I'm a lawyer by profession
To rise your spirits, here's a website of a sensational board repair lady with loads of samples of stuff she put back in line. There's still hope for you skimmy.
