No experience on this matter but when you get an answer I know someone else looking for repairs!

Take it in to simon @ board crazy. Otherwise a crack in the nose is a pretty easy fix, DIY it!

Post a pic. It might be self repairable.

Bruised the nose and there's a decent crack (20cm) down the underside of the board right through to the wood (jp fsw 120 xcite). So its A bit beyond me.... Tried simon but he doesn't do repairs anymore. Seems like the only options are goodtime and surf connect

You could always try MASRM boat builders at Northgate, don't know if they do sailboards but they have been doing fibre glassing for years

Take the hour trip to the Goldy, you have your pick of guys down there than could fix it for you.

Some recomendations:
Peasey - Get in touch through the Roar Industries shop at Currumbin
Deep - Simon at Deep does a lot of clubbie and SUP race stuff.

Both these guys have experience with sandwich construction and epoxy and could sort it our for you.

punched a hole through my JP single thruster the size of my mast base, mast base exploeded jumping, had Goran on the Goldy fix it, 100% repair job, cant remember his business name but Surf-fx can arrange, i would not do it yourself, when you see how good a repair can be done by others! Good price as well.

Have sent the board to a guy hear in brissy. Bit of a risk but will let you know how it goes. Anyone got any ideas for paint colour on the old JP x-cites? Managed to do a decent job on my other board so I thought i'd save the money.

Repair Job is stunning. Beautifully shaped. You can't tell that its had a 25 cm crack down the bottom... If anyone needs repairs in Brisbane I'm getting the guys phone number and email next week. He can do painting as well (professional spray painter on cars) but it was a bit dear considering how much the board cost me...

Christ Mal you've been smashing some nice gear lately. I think the name you are thinking of is Koma/Coma surfboards.

Bit wonky but that's what you get with masking tape...

Yeah last big 35kn day the mast base blew apart doin a jump, leaving me out in the deep with a collapsed rig! The mast punched through the top of the board, taking
A perfect 40 mm core sample! It was Goran from koma surfboards, top bloke. Good pricing excellent repair. In regards to breaking gear, I don't mind giving everything a good go!
