Hi Jeanine, welcome back! I hope you got some good windsurfing on your holiday. I have had my board repaired very professionally, with the paint touched up neatly, at Zac's surfboard shop in Victoria Rd, Thornbury for very reasonable prices.

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks guys. I will get it done today :)

I've just been on the phone to RPS about a fin box repair I need made. It appears that the person who does repairs for RPS has just closed down for business.

In the meantime, they have directed a couple of boards to Oakey in Braeside. I have used OKE once before and found them to do a good job - I was thinking of using them again. SHQ recommended them highly over the phone.

Interestingly my current need relates to a pre-existing repair to a second hand board that I bought. I believe this repair may have been done by the old RPS repairer. Whoever did that repair did a poor job, with a lot of leakage and now delamination around the fin box. By comparison OKE did a better repair to a fin box on an old fibreglass board of mine (though it also leaked a little).

Here are contact details for the repairers discussed so far in this thread...
