Erik Takes On The McCoy Project

Last week Erik took on the project to restore the McCoy I rescued from the trash.  Erik is one of those guys who is good at everything and one of those things he does really well happens to be board repair. When he saw the board he fell in love with it.  Now the more time he spends with it the more he thinks of  surfing it.  Here is Erik doing the first step of the repair, cutting out all cancer and getting the board ready for some healing.  In the next few weeks I'm going to track his progress and at the end we'll see she rides. If anyone is interested in trying it out let us know.

Rescued

About 4 years ago my neighbor passed away suddenly. I didn't know him really at all since I had just moved in. I just remember him from the neighborhood.  He was one of the locals.  When they cleaned out his house they put this board out in the trash.  It is a circa 1970 7'6" McCoy single fin pintail. I stopped in shock.  It was beat up but it was still salvageable.  My dream is to have it fixed up and take it out.  For this guy to have kept this board all these years means he loved it. By the wear and tear on this board you could tell it was surfed a lot.  Now it sits but someday it will be surfed again.
