As an aspiring entrepreneur I had always wondered what the best ways to make money were. I tried my fair share of yard work, small skateboard brands, and even thrifting. Most of these brought a smaller yield when it came to actually making money but I did not realize a market that was right in front of me.

.One of my favorite things to do is fix up surfboards for my friends. What I don't usually get to do is surf the board after I am done fixing it. With the 100+ boards I have bought, sold and kept over the years I have been the "go to" guy when your craft breaks down. Friends will usually text me and ask me if they might be able to learn how to ding repair with me. I almost always respond  with a yes and we get to  work in the backyard fixing the board together. Then the next day will come and they will disappear... Either way, it feels great to help someone out and get a board back in the water.
