Crushed Bic acs board... Worth fixing, and how?

[Cmknab]

So I picked up a Bic super magnum yesterday, the seller told me it had a " minor push mark". It's a little worse than he makes it sound.
I didn't end up paying for the board. Now I just need to know, is it even fixable, and how ? Or did I pick up a free piece of trash?

can you ride it? Is it watertight?
If so, since it was free, just ride it till it breaks

You could take it to a local surfboard repair shop and get an estimate. It would need to be fixed with epoxy, since it is ACS construction. I would go somewhere where they have experience fixing these type of boards. Our repair guy works on our rental bic boards, but not all surfboard repair guys have experience with Bic Surfboards.

Yeah, thats the one of the many things my town is lacking. I live in Wisconsin, surf shops are pretty scarce. I have repaired it for the most part. The major part of the ding out, now there is just a large void because the foam is crushed. I might try injecting some type of foam inside then covering the hole with an epoxy that BIC sells.

Take some lighters and melt them down, then...
