Kiteboard Fix Up

let me know what you guys think! Also how much would you guys guess its worth? Just want to know because I'm pretty sure I lost money on this venture.... I am in it for about $160.00 for the board now.

Wow! It's really nice! I think it's priceless... If I were you I'd keep it, it's really pretty.

That's cool. Did you have to do a bunch of fiberglass repair? I've been thinking it would be fun to make a board from scratch.

Thanks guys! I am keeping it, I was just curious if I lost a bunch of money or not.

I did not have to do any fiber glass repair, I used a 150 Grit sand paper to sand the surface of the board, then I painted it with one coat of black, let it dry, sanded that coat of black, painted another coat of black, added the other designs, and did 3 coats of clear coat to finish it off. With replacing the foot pads and all the painting it probably took me about 2 hours or so.
