There are plenty of obstacles out there both in the water and on the land that can and will play havoc with your surfboard. Rocks, coral, other surfers and boards, are all hazards that can easily damage your surf board. Then there’s bumps, bangs, and drops out of the water that can crack or dent your surf board. While your surf board isn’t going to look all shiny and new for too long once it has been exposed to wax and the surf, it is important to keep on top of surfboard repairs, especially cracks and fissures. The reason? Once water can start seeping into your surf board it will begin to weigh your board down, and eventually potentially damage the inside of your surfboard. These minor surfboard repair jobs can easily be done yourself. Read on for hints on surf board ding repair.
How to repair a surfboard:
First things first. Before you put any kind of surf board repair product on your surfboard you need to know whether your board is epoxy or fiberglass. The reason for this is simple. Use the incorrect product and they will start to erode the blank in your surf board. So an epoxy surfboard will need epoxy surf board ding repair products and a fiberglass board will require fiberglass surfboard repair products. The 2 are totally incompatible, so don’t be tempted to use your mate’s ding repair kit when you are caught short in the middle of nowhere if your surfboards are not both the same.
Next, you will need to make sure your surfboard is nice and dry. How do you know if it is dry enough? Press down around the hole or crack and check to see if any water seeps out. If you can see water, it is not dry enough. You can either stick your board in the sun to speed up the process or start drying it out with a hairdryer. Either way, your surf board repair will last much longer and it will be much better for the long term life of the board if you don’t seal it up with water left inside.
Your location and the outdoors temperature will play some bearing on your surfboard repair. Whether you are surfing in tropical Hawaii or some freezing cold place in the middle of winter will determine how much hardener you are going to have to use in the resin. Read the instructions and be sure to use the correct amount. The colder it is, the more hardener you will be using.
If this all sounds too hard or complex, there are great Solarez surfboard repair kits available. Yep, they are available for both epoxy and fiberglass surfboards. The beauty of these types of surfboard repair kits is that you don’t need to add hardener to the resin. The sun is going to do most of the hard work for you, no matter whether it is ridiculously cold or boiling hot. Basically, you do most of the work in the shade and then pop your surf board in the sun to cure. Curing can take as little as 3 minutes and if you want to backtrack you just bring your surf board back out of the sun and redo the work. These types of kits can be invaluable for surfing vacations and for fast surfboard repair jobs.
Conclusion.
Successful surfboard repairs require the appropriate products for either a fiberglass or epoxy surfboard. Your surf board needs to have as much water as possible dried out of the surfboard prior to starting the repair job. For those in a rush or not keen on mixing chemicals,products such as Solarez ding repair kits can take away a lot of the pain and time.
