Twin tip board repair work?

Post by djmadmike »

My fav twin tip board got crushed on the end a bit by the airlines on my last trip :( Nothing horrible, but it looks like the end is cracked and I don't want any water to get into the core of the board.

Anyone know of a place locally (or someone I can pay) to have it fixed? I am not very interested in how it looks at all, as long as it works!

Just let me know!
Thanks

There's a section of the "Zero to Hero" DVD on board and kite repair.. they suggest using 5 minute epoxy if the damage isn't too bad (assuming you have an epoxy based board).

Not sure who does local repair work..

Check with Diego. He does a great job of board building.

Thanks Mike G, I will try that out. Hopefully that will work since I want to make sure water does not get inside the board.

Jerry, much appreciated! How do I reach this Diego guy?
