Own a Starbaord Pro 7'10 purchaed about three years back
Purchased weight was 13.7
Now 14.5
Had two dings repaired one about 3 cm and the other 2cm

no obvious cracks at all. Never see any bubbles or water after dry.

If I suspect a hairline crack, I take it best to leave out GINGERLy in the sun for a while BUT not too long to look for water?

Anything else?

did you weight it after the ding repairs?

create small basins of folded tape around the suspected parts. (also around the handle and fin boxes)
pour some soapy water (water + some drops of dishwashing soap) in the basins
put the board in the sun 2mn

Do not leave in the sun more than 5mn. If there is a leak, it will bubble in the first minute.

Fold the tape this way, and use 4 as the sides of the "basin"

How good were these repairs and who did them? I’d suggest if a repair was so poorly done as to let water in you’d see it.
I’d check fin boxes and handle first
plus all leash plugs leak just by virtue of their design so if not put in properly in a styro board you’re asking for trouble.


where are u? I think WA right….? If so come in and see me
