One of my regrets is that I never learned to surf. I lived in California growing up but not southern California, so beach life wasn't part of living. I learned to skateboard but never tried surfing. I'm 75 now so I guess it's off the table.
Ray and I had a lengthy chat about this board before I started recording and I can say he had a word in every aspect of the design, as well as the 9'10 he is about to receive, he definitely works closely with the shaper.
I bought an Ray Fireball model, it has three areas of delamination on the top. Should I cut this out and use q-cell, or inject Resin into the area's. I didn't have the money to buy a new board. Not complaining Gods been good. Any ideas. Thank you ✝️
From Ray, if you can't get it down to the McTavish factory in Byron, then, if the delam is small yes inject the resin, but if large cut out, q cell and glass. Ensure dry, salt and sand free of course. From the Gleave!
@@garymcevoysurfvideo Thanks for the information I asked about a delamination problem. It was a larger area then I had anticipated. However I followed your advice, and happy to say it turned out great. Once again thank you and God bless.

I wonder how much of his signature model went into the fireball square tail? One of the best surfs in my life was on my Ray Gleave at big Warra!
