I know it looks scruffy, but as a learner/intermediate the soft deck will save you from a lot of scrapes and bruises. You'd have to regrip it if you took the EVA off, and DIY regrip can be quite rough.

Leave it that way, you'll enjoy the eva deck trust me !!!

Bro it is what it is.You could create a huge pain in the ass trying to do anything like that to it.Just ride the sucker into the ground and worry about ya next stick,the one that will be under your feet for a longer period of time.My 2 bobs

i need to glue around the handle , it starting to split ,
been told that water could enter it :(
any ideas ,
|
|
|
can you get some eva foam in a spray can ?
can i puddy the big hole up ?
|
|
|
eva is usually heavily glued down, I wouldn't worry about the water getting in between.
Just enjoy the board until you outgrow it....  |

As everyone else has said don't worry too much about cosmetics. if the board itself has a crack seal that up with epoxy resign or neadit.
the EVA will be a pain to get off, i recently regripped a boom mega frustrating
time better spent sailing.

Knead it (proper spelling) is two part epoxy that comes in a tube, its a bit like playdough, you mix it with your fingers and apply. sets in minutes. off you go...
most hardware and i think WSS sell it.
the board should be made of epoxy i would think? you can justbget araldite and put it over the crack. if the crack is quite large yo may want to use some glass cloth and epoxy resin.

Epoxy resin - Not Polyester resin that you use on surfboards (dissolves the foam) 
I learnt the hard way and now my board's in the shop getting repaired by someone with more of a brain than me

oh , yea so stay away from Polyester
i not to worried about the look as i am hoping to be off it on a few month ,
just didn't want it to fall apart while i was learning
