Ding disaster!!

[CHarvey]

I went to a local shaper in San Diego and he did a board up for me for $400. Second day I surfed it I had a tube close out on me and when I came back up the first 4" of my nose were missing. $90 later I had a new nose on my board and it still surfs awsome. Unfortunetly the week San Diego was on fire I was out surfing and my leash cut into the tail of my surf board 6". So now I am waiting till I have time to fix that now. Might just get another surfboard. I hate dings but it comes with the territory.
Hopefully I will get to paddle out on Christmas, but I hope more that there will be waves to surf.

i somehow kicked my fin underwater, cut my boot, my bootie, snaped the fin off, broke the fin plugs in half, delaminated and cracked my board.

$55 repair.

that's alright... a guy @ my area was gonna charge me 80+ for reparing my ding, and it'll take a week which I cannot wait that long... went down to my local hardware store and bought a Selley's Aqua epoxy stick and patched up myself, no leak so far... probably get another board later on, cbf spending $$ to get it fix because i want a board bout 4" shorter and thinner, and more rocker comparing to the current board...

dings suck!! its ok if you do it yourself but when someone drops your board taking it off the car thats worse. damn parents. should be repairable though.

My grandparents suved my board into the car with force (they don't like "the sound of a board rack", wtf?) and I now have 5 more dings and 3 cracks, but jnow the have to pay to repair it, mwahahahaha!!!!

Some peckerhead in MalPais stole the foam from my roof rack. Had to drive back home without foam. After 5 hours on shite roads I had to repair all three boards.

Lesson: if they CAN steal it in CR, they WILL steal it in CR.

Peckerhead.
