One Tree Beater Board

I visited the local surf shop to see if they had any beater boards to practice my ding repair skills.  He told me to buy one for $40 or all seven for $40...so I took all seven.  This was the only one that showed any promise.  Loved the 80's look and outline but it needed A LOT of love. Keep in mind this was before the Dane Reynolds Dumpster Diver fad so I decided to just cut out a fish tail and repaint it because it was already pretty watertight.  I surfed it once and it was missing the 3rd fin.   I really wish I had this board back to do over again.  I should not have chopped the tail and just added the center fin.  It has since been sold.
