Hi, I ve just noticed a 4"x 1" ding on the nose of my longboard, the surface is all cracked and has been slightly pushed in, I don't think any water has got in, its a 9' fibreglass lonboard, what would be the best way to repair this, if I do it myself are the repair kits made for different construction or will any repair kit do? Cheers

Dents on the surface could just be pressure marks.

Kits come in types for the board construction - either PU or epoxy. Use the right kit for your board. The PU ones for fibreglass are the normal ones for custom boards so you wont have any trouble getting a kit for your fibreglass board.

You can get either a suncure type kit (ie it hardens in the sun) or a 'proper' kit with resin and catalyst, fibreglass etc. If its a big ding, then probably best to go for the bigger kit.
