Pressure dings are unavoidable and only affect the cosmetics of your surfboard. On the other hand, accidents do happen and dings that penetrate the outer layer of material are (unfortunately) also unavoidable. This is when you will need a surfboard ding repair job.
It always pays to get any serious dings fixed. Again, what I mean by serious is when the outer material is damaged to the point of exposing the inner material to the elements – water mainly. Given enough exposure to water, the foam absorbs moisture making it heavier, weaker and in time will discolor your surfboard.
Due to the rugged coastline of Kaikoura, Surge has had more than enough practice fixing surfboards. Meatworks, one of our popular surf spots, is notorious for being hard on boards – especially when negotiating high-tide entries and exists.
Combined with some of our other slightly heavier breaks, such as spot X or… spot X, Surge has had plenty of experience in repairing anything from a tiny rail dings to your more serious breakages i.e. snapped boards. He can also fix most fin systems and boards of both polyester and epoxy composite material too.
So make sure you keep up the restoration of your pride and joy. Boards are just too expensive these days to let them fall victim to a lack of maintenance or a shoddy repair job. Contact Surge now for an estimate on your surfboard ding repair job.
