Restoration for an old friend....Ohana style.








I restored this Mike Casey 7'2 Channin chambered balsa for my friend Dixon. It was a good challenge worth doing...Dixon has had this board since the early 70's and was his only board back in the day. I thought the board needed to be loved up one more time and given a respectable place in Dixon's home. This board was more like a brother than an old friend...Dixon grew up with this baby...the board was featured in an add for Channin (see above). Michael Miller did all the glass work and it was not a simple glass....he had to fill cracks and reshape the rails....allot of love was put back into her. Surf on brother Dixon...with the wind in your face and the sun on your back. Peace, Daniel
