The only mob I know of are Oke in Braeside and they have fixed 1 or 2 of my boards over the last couple of years, just be sure to mention that you are fussy and want a good job and be prepared to wait a few weeks this time of year.

+1 for Oke, have had a few boards repaired from him and he does a good job, but as Jerry says, might be a couple or more weeks, probably wouldn't get it done before mid Jan.

I can do fin boxes. Not sure that Oke can do windsurfers as they were a bit unsure about divinycell, pvc or sandwich construction. Might have talked to the wrong person but I would quiz them very carefully about fixing your board.

All seems like quite a lot of hassle....

Sure this is simpler...

Driving to see Fletch or Paul, having the piss taken out of you while drinking coffee and then putting a new board in the back of the van.

And you'd be the first to quote some superstitious mumbo jumbo about no wind because everyone's buying new gear!

And no, Red thumb didn't come from me.

i would be.... but Martin's experience ie buying a new board that is broken, doesn't seem to be making it any windier. Indeed xmas is looking bleak for wind at the moment.

You mean like this?
