What to do after a visit to the reef. Thought the tide was getting a bit low but tried it one more time. Did a nice job this time with the fin going straight through the bottom of the board. Now I got a 2 plus a 1/2 fin set up.

What do I do?

Repair the existing damage.

Give the board away.

Give it a custom tail re-model.

Thinking of the last one as this board has had a few repairs over it's time and it's time to upgrade to a new one.

It's my favourite 10'6 Extra Wide Ripper so what style of tail would work? Probably need to remove the last 8 or so inches of the board to remove all the damage.

Yup, seems quite repairable.

Especially if the find box has not suffered, repair should be easy. But take care to reinforce the leash plug I guess

Take it to someone who works with epoxy repairs and get it fixed. Not a big job.

Heaps cheaper than buying s new one

I would go for option one.
Honey I talked to the repair shop the other day, and they told me, It's beyond repair, they could do it, but it wil be very expensive.
So I was thinking, I really need the savings to buy a new board, but some of that money, would come back, cause they can patch up the board a little so we could sell it.
Of course, but that's for later, the board would be hard to sell, if not impossible, so you end up with two



If she does the finance, you have to be smarter in another way

i would find a good repair guy on gumtree, Fix My Stick can do it for a great price and quick turnaround.
