Most of you have already seen this, but for those who haven't, the short story is that I found this old board in the trashcan on the beach in late July. I spent the month of August turning it into my first shaped blank. All glass work done by Moonlight. For bigger a step by step, click on the title or cut and paste:

very cool.. how does it ride? I love the concept of refurbish and revamp instead of tossing an old board in the trash..
Great slide show
Congrats on not being functional fixed and just seeing a beatup old Gordie. The shape came out great!
I like the full circle shot where the board is back on top of the trash can.
Just imagine how that old board feels. It's like rehab for surfboards.
Truly amazing.
Beautiful job!
nice edit to include J.P. in the moon suit and not break the flow
Rad!
Sweet board.... can you tell me more about the fin placement? Looks different than a speeddialer fin setup.
The front fins look like they have no toe-in. Is this correct?
The board actually rides better than I ever thought it would. Pretty much as good as all the other fish that I own. I don't ride it as much because I it's irreplaceable. I rode it for a month straight when it was done. Now just on special occasions. Will bring it to the AB3 for anyone to ride. The front fins are actually toed in 1/4" and the rear fins 1/8". Set up more like my Black Knight Quad than a speeddialer.
ooooh, your blog is all fancy now!
The right stuff!!! You weren't kidding.
Great job on the August project.
inspiring!
Finding that trashed board was a score in the first place.
I've always talked about doing a project like this but....I'm all talk.
You did a great job and the documentation is as RT says, 'Inspiring'!
Thanks
I have always wanted to do that.
Thanks for sharing.
