Messed up board

So I got this surfboard, i don't know how it got so fleshin' up but it is seriously fleshin' up. I just want to practice repair mostly. I looked up repair and their aren't many articles on how to repair delamination and missing glass. This board has a delamination a foot long and 4 inches across. All the guides i see recommend cutting off the glass and relaminating instead of just injecting resin. But I'm not really sure the point of that. Why can't I just inject resin and clamp the glass to the board while it hardens? There's a 4"x5" spot of missing glass, would a surf board repair kit have enough replacement glass? And where can i get filler for holes?
