Chip on my board
Hiya, im a noob here. I've was just getting my board out to get it ready to go out, when i noticed it had a chip, or a 'graze' on the
side. i sucked it, but couldnt taste salt, so maybe it was done in transit.
Anyway, i was wondering what sort of repair i would need to do before i used it again. I've only been surfing a year or so, and its
quite a new board.
Many thanks in advance. Ta

You'll probably be fine with a simple it of Dr. Ding or similar epoxy based repair kit.... It does of course all depend on the
construction of the board and the extent of the damage... You'd be better off posting in the forums and gettng everyone else advice
too...
Personally I'm terrible at such things as I don't have time to let boards sit around drying out etc etc so simply whack some filler in
them and get on with it, or leave the damage as it is!

I agree with Al..... Sounds as though a little bit of Dr. Ding will do the trick, or if there is no real damage then just leave it as
it is. Dings on boards are all part of the game. Much better to have a beaten up board that actually gets wet than a perfect museum
piece that never see the light of day.... Although I think Al takes those sentiments to the extreme and barely lets his boards dry out
between sessions.
