The other day I cracked my board... on water, didn't hit anything or the sand, I landed kind of hard though.
The crack runs along where I've marked in red, and doesn't go through to the other side... but it does move, so it might break off with further use.

What are my options?



Thanks.

Flip the pads round,limit toeside action and hope santa brings the goods

That's the first thing I thought about... problem is the board isn't symmetrical.

Santa's never bought me anything over a $100 $50.

Remove the fin (temporarily) closest to the crack . Get one of those coarse grit flap discs you fit to a 5" angle grinder and grind /sand down evenly from each side of the board until the crack edges are feathered (paper thin) . I'd wear a respirator for sure, and at least a pair of safety glasses if not a full face shield. Epoxy on a few strips of 4oz glass cloth each side , let cure and sand down flush with a flat backing pad. That's what I would do , then I would refit the fin. That should hold up I reckon, J

What if I use it until it breaks off... can it be effectively repaired then?

duct tape

dont do this tho unless u know how to bond sidewalls tho...
