Hi guys, I have a very well used carbon race board that has had a number of repairs. its stored outside, though in shade its had a tough life. On the bottom of it I have recently noticed 2 decent size bulges 5cm-10cm in length each. Now I have no doubt it has water in the board as the carbon just seems so thin on this old girl it doesn't take much to crack it at all and I have put a few cracks in it coming into shore on rocks etc and at present it has a couple puka patches on it holding it together till I find the time to take it off the water for repairs.

It's still a good board and I want to keep it though I think it needs a bit of care and repair to see it last a couple more years.
I'm all good with fixing the small cracks though anything serious I have sent it to a board guy before. Just wondering if there is anything simple I can do at home to fix the dalmatian. to smooth out the bumps on the bottom.

Anyone had any experience with this repair work before??

Only advice on spot removal re. Dalmatian is :




Just don't try to fix his crack or smooth out the bumps on his bottom. He may take it personally...

My apologies supallday - I couldn't resist, and it's a loooooong work day...good luck with the repair

Not exactly a Javelin or a Race (or a race board of ANY description, let alone carbon) but it's KINDA a Dalmatian in a Paddleboard...

That first post on spot removal is GOLD!

This one's not a race sup either - but its definitely a dalmation ON a paddleboard (sorry can't help with the dalmation delimitation delamination issue.)
