Big Ding - no idea about how to go about fixing it

Postby Welly2nelly » Tue Mar 17, 2020 11:11 pm

Went out this morning on a whim and the swell was pretty decent. Hopped out and was chucking my board back into its bag and voila. Biggest ding I’ve had so far. I know how to fix small dings but this bad boy is way above my pay grade. Any tips on how to fix this? I kind want it up and running by the weekend.
Cheers

Take it to a shop, it needs a layer of fresh fiberglass cloth, not just solareze.

Global only uses a single layer of fiberglass to keep boards light, so expect some repairs.

Appreciate that! Stuck at home like most of us waiting until I can send it away to get patched up.
