I'm new to this forum but I have been sailing at Semaphore and North Haven for a few months now.

Its happend again, I have only just had my 84L wave board repaired and I have smashed my 74 nose. I know it is down to technique so I figure if I repair it myself I will learn the lesson faster, also it is way to exensive to get a prof repair. This was done yesterday at Semaphore...

Can anyone advise on the easiest technique to repair this and any good links on repairs. I don't have a pump and haven't tackled a repair before so the easiest method would be the best.

Also if anyone knows of easy to use products and where to purchase them from?




Many Thanks
Nick

+1. Just checked out this site and it's a belter. How good are her repairs? I have had them (professionally) done in the past and you could tell something had happened, but this lady is on her game.

Hi Trousers

I use the West System epoxy for my repairs (I brought it from Rope and Marine in Port Adelaide for about $45). This product is a bit technical to use. You need a few tools: a vacuum pump and a heat source. The repairs are very good though.

I'm going to try and give it a go but if I stuff it up I will definitely give it to Leighton. Thanks For the advice.
