Return to article: How to Fix a Ding on a Surfboard
on 8/8/2008 You don't need sticks or dowels. They don't make it stronger and it makes harder to align the edges and rocker. The best way to align a broken board is on a flat surface using wedges to align the rails and a straight edge to align the rocker. I have fixed many broken boards and this way is easy and always works well. Check out this article for repair epoxy surfboards. I can't post a link so cut and paste it into you browser. http://boarding.com/articles/2007/eps_epoxy_ding_repair_1.html
on 11/22/2005 When fixing a snapped nose you should find some popsicle sticks, about 4 should do. Sharpen both sides of the sticks, put them in the foam of your board to reconnect the nose to the body. Make sure your careful, don't ruin the foam. Once the nose is reconnected, you can start to lay the fiberglass on your board. The sticks will make the nose stronger than when it was brand new.
