Great race to take your family to. It starts and finishes on a sandy

your family can swim while you race. The weather forecast for Saturday
is Sunny and 88ºF.

Surfski Repair

Surfski Repair (Step by step guide) While standing on a floating dock and removing the boat from the water one evening, my grip slipped and it fell on a dock tie.  The impact placed a small indent in the ski.  I knew I was in trouble because I knew nothing about boat repair.  I immediately called my friend & surfski training partner Brent.  He offered to help each evening after work to repair the surfski.  I quickly realized that my seemingly bad situation had afforded me a great opportunity to learn from someone who has extensive experience in professional auto body repair and had repaired surfskis before.  If this ever happened again in the future, I would have the experience behind me to fix it myself.  In repairing the ski we wanted to create a solid repair that didn't add unnecessary weight, was easy on the budget and made the ski look like it did originally.  Below are the steps we took to repair it: 1.  Create cardboard cu...

Outdoor storage of surfski

Image
I moved into a smaller house with a garage that is not big enough to store a 22' surfski. Here is how I properly stored my ski outdoors without sun or moisture damage in sunny high humidity Florida. I looked online and all the covers seem so expensive. I thought about it alot & finally got the perfect solution.  I picked up an industrial thickness white vinyl tarp cover.  Don't use the cheaper home depot variety.  Get the high quality thick industrial stuff in white.  I cut it in strips so that I could cover several boats.  I also found a silver/gray elasticized gray boat cover which someone got rid of (likely for a 20 foot boat) which I lay over the white vinyl.  Two layers of protection.  How fortunate!  Its elastic ends fit perfectly over my surfski. I use 4 straps to keep the cover firmly in place in high winds.  I store it in the shade of the trees and pool screen to keep it cool.  Finall...

My first surfski a Futura sport

Image
I raced and surfed this boat for at least 5 years.  It's very tough.  I originally picked this up from a guy in Orlando.  I was looking for a retro Magnum P.I. type surfski.  I didn't know about the high-tech carbon fiber models at the time.  I later used it as a trainer for newbies.  My brother-in-law now owns it.  The stripes, handles, and seat padding I added to it.  It had metal rudder cables, aluminum kick-up rudder, and aluminum rudder pedals. Very durable to own for many years.  I'm glad to have owned a classic boat as well as the modern ones.  There are rivers I was able to race in this one that I wouldn't have considered bringing a more expensive lighter boat.
