Had this out the other day, first time with my new widowmaker sidebites, and got crunched on my last wave. Ended up with a pretty good ding in the nose. I’m pretty sure this is not the best way, but I used what I had handy for a quick fix. I had some blue Dow foam my friend gave me that was left over after he made a board out of it. I used it because it was handy, and it was blue. Freehand routered the mortise with a little trim router. Glued in with epoxy and Q-cell. Sanded and glassed, ready to go get some more dings!
Not only creative, but worthy of praise. A patch, hiding in plain sight.
Very cool. Patent pending???
Nice Matt who stick too
nice!
Great job Huck!
This is giving me inspiration to finally fix my board
…hello Huck; very creative indeed; I never thought about that; however, you do not need to cut that big hole to fix that ding. I do not have any pictures but normally you just sand aiding with a stick or screwdriver so you have all matte there, then put scrap of foam inside with resin+aerosil and pigment; then after sanding proceed as usual.
A dutchman on a surfboard. Very creative!!! Something I’ve never seen or thought of on a surfboard. Bravo! With a couple templates and one of these the sky is the limit: http://www.performancetoolcenter.com/bosch-ra1127-router-inlay-kit/?gclid=Cj0KEQiAvJS3BRDd44fjndyii6MBEiQAN4EkPaFijv9GgNuYlKdxgPdKBNS4dD3YxZbKbwSvKLFui7waAgJb8P8HAQ
