I managed to damage one of the outer fins on my board and it cracked the fiberglass on the top of the board and the inner foam. Im looking to buy a repair kit but im not sure if my board is epoxy coated as theres different repair kits for epoxy and non epoxy boards by the looks of things. How can i find out what board mine is, its got Pyzel (5' 8" 1/2) written on the bottom. Any help?

I'm all for people repairing their own boards - I have to do mine all the time :oops: - but if you've snapped a fin and done enough damage that you can see the inner foam, and the top of the board is damaged, then a ding repair kit probably wont be much good to you.
Probably one to take to a professional.

Thanks for the feedback mate. Yeh where the fin locates its pushed up slightly into the board and you can see foam broken inside and its pushed up about 5 mm and cracked at the top of the board aswell. Sending it to a proffesional could be the better plan.
