Fixing a Board

wakeboard_kid3 09-17-2003, 7:04 PM

We had a half of day of school so decided to go out wakeboarding. So when I was done with my run my dad picked my board out of the water and dopped on the side of the boat and dented the front in. Will feberglassing it stay?

I've done this a couple of times,it's not the end of the world.They make a Wakeboard Repair kit with all the directions in it.It's really easy.My 14 year old nephew has used them to fix his surf boards.Your parents might have to buy it cause of the resin though.And yes it will stay.
Good luck kid.........

I dropped my board once and went to Home Depot and bought a fiberglass kit. I first opened the space that opened up a little wider with a dental pick and pulled out some of the foam then filled with the fiberglass and pressed closed. You cant tell the difference and if you asked me it is stronger now than it was originally.

I also learned to be carefull when removing the board from the rack.

The wakeboard repair kits worked great. I had to completely reconstruct the edge on my absolute. It's as good as new.
