surfjunkie nose fix

[yamaslut]

Scott (surfjunkie) busted his nose up

1. first I taped the backside and edges so I don't get resin all over the place
2. added some rigidity by forming that piece of metal to shape
3. added a bunch of matting using epoxy resin
4. finished it off w/ 5 or so layers of 7oz cloth.

after it dries

1. I will make a straight line
2. cut off excess glass
3. sand sharp edges
4. reinstall trim pieces

the person who fixed the nose before me never even sanded the gel coat... it was a mess

 

[BruceSki]

quick fix!

I need to put a spring on the nose of mine so it will bounce back off the sea floor.

Scott is all about stock... and he rips harder than most guys on his 650

 

[surfjunkie]

thanks for the work nick!

maybe one of these days i'll learn how to do this myself. or just quit hitting bottom.

 

[yamaslut]

no problem.... easy fix

ghey......tell scott ill donate a rocker kit to that ski FREE You can just use the bottom half of the nose piece and keep that stock mess on top if you really want it stock looking. also it will drop 6 lbs even after all reinforced.

Surprised Scott was riding this time of year to have broken the nose. Think I spoke with him a few Daytona s ago and he wouldn't even think of getting in the water at that temp. Does his current 650 at least have a pipe?

This is cool, Want to see how it turns out. My SN nose is busted up also.

Nope, although he is looking for one. Weather is warm this year so he has been riding. He does alot with very little.

I've got a protec 650 pipe for an sj if he's interested.

we have had a pretty warm winter so the water has for the most part stayed above 65. below that and it has to be really good surf for me to get in.

the ski does have a protec pipe and is a pretty fun little engine when it decides to run right.

the end result:

1. pulled off metal sheet
2. used metal sheet to draw straight line
3. cut excess glass
4. sanded glass to nice finish
5. primed glass so it won't suck up water
6. then I will install the trim back in place

Nice nosejob nick. Hopefully this warm weather will hold out. I don't much care for the cold as well; I think my wetsuit comes out before anybody else's every year...
