Can anyone suggest an installer on gold coast that does a good/strong job?

Still playing on the sup foil but think I've sourced a surfboard that will be suitable....

Also considering the foil mount but concensus seems to be that spending the extra cash on a proper track box is the go...plus I could expect the foil mount has too much drag to also use as normal surf/kite board if necessary.

Many thanks.

Not on the goldy mate, but Bart Watkins from Boards by Bart at Maroochydore did mine and did a great job. I told him to over engineer it and bought and gave him the pre made box from Slingshot and its solid as.
Just thought I'd let you know as there hasn't been any responses as yet.
Good luck.

Sounds like not too many recommendations for gold coast installers? None there?

Maybe a good opportunity to try a foil mount after all.....

Surely there is a board repairer on the Goldy that can install a track mount. Not hard.
The hardest part is finding a track mount block. Once you have got that. The rest is just laminating which a board repairer is good at.

Dale at DC Paddle boards , Currumbin or Simon at Deep , West Burleigh or Polesy at the Ding shop at Miami.

They all all have the boxes in Stock , Dale also carries Tuttle boxes if you want to do dual mount.

+ 1 for Dale at DC Paddle Boards Currumbin. He did a great job retro fitting a deep Tuttle for me
