Don't despair - repairable.


Plenty of how to in windsurfing forum or things like boardlady.com

Most important thing will be gluing it together and jigging up so as to make sure rocker stays the same, then repair deck, and rails, then repair bottom

You really should loosen the vent screw when you're not using it

cisco, it was a 60 foot yacht

But quote for the week goes to one of my mates


"It'll buff out."



The bugger part is the 2015 board on order is a couple of weeks away, this was going to be kept as a second board.
Have had a quote for $250 to fix, stronger than new,

ok

Put it on Gumtree and see if you can sell it to some scammer who will buy it sight unseen because they're on an oil rig somewhere.
Ad goes something like,.

Force ale
Almost new and mint condition except for one small nick.
(board details and specs etc.)
Must sell to make way for new board
$250 ono.


When they buy it, just bundle the bits together and tell them it was easier to transport it that way.

Big surf, was caught about 10 meters short of a good take of (one of thoses waves that are over head height as you start to paddle over) so dived off the board into and under the wave as it broke, as you do.
A mate watched it all unfold and said the wave just landed in the middle of the board.

Seriously though Craig I don't blame him for not taking the repair job.

Get him to make 2 minions out of it and flog them on the breeze.
