More Information on the Gemini

Here is a breakdown on the Gemini for anyone interested.  Like a say, one of a kind board.  If I'm shipping it I'll create a light weight crate for it and send via Pilot Air - guesstimate between $100-200 to any US airport.

 Overall the board is in pretty good condition.  Outside of a small shipping damage  spot that was professionally repaired (see below) the board has never had damage to the tough skin, perforations, leaks or real damage. 

I'm not selling is as like new.  We've had some fun on it here so it has certainly been used - but well looked after.

In general the tough-skin on these is amazing.  Not indestructible, but pretty darn tough, so the thing to look for is rail damage, leaks and a well maintained fin box and dagger board.  All of which are 100% on this one.


Like all EVA boards, there are some superficial nicks in the surface highlighted by the orange arrows.  These are there at carious points around the deck.  There are no serious tears or anything that effects the performance or use of the board.



The base section of the board has a bash when it was shipped to me.  It had taken a ding in the EVA so we pulled it back and made a small cloth and epoxy repair underneath.  Was a classic small puncture, nothing serious, just wanted to make sure.






Here it is again a bit larger.  Like i say, nothing to worry about, just want to make sure the buyer sees everything...






The underside of the board is in great shape.  One small paint ship but otherwise nothing.









And importantly, the underside of the back of the board is in great shape.  The dagger board skin and blade are like new so no worries there.
