Went surfing with my brother in manasquan yesterday. There was some amazing waves, and we had a good time until I walked back on to the sand after a nasty wipeout and noticed my board :(. I just bought this board (UM F-21) this summer, so I haven't had this board for a long time at all.

We can usually fix really bad dings, and even fixed a buckled nose on this board prior to yesterdays session. That was the first day I had it back in the water! Do any of you guys attempt to fix your boards when they break down the middle like this? Or is the strength of the board never going to be the same, so you just chuck it? Thanks

Mike

PS. I tried resizing the image on photobucket, doesn't seem to help :/

Easy fix . . . . let in (let in = shape and place) one 12 inch stringer either side of the center one, each centered on the break. Cut and replace the center stringer 12 inches either side of the break; bonding ends as approprate. Easzzzzy (ish).
