Can anyone recommend an inflatable SUP repairer on the Northern Beaches Sydney?
And is it even worth bothering?

Yes it is worth it. I have found after gluing and while glue is drying you need to clamp it together. Check out sealairrepairs on Instagram for examples of how they do it. Totally works. Buy the glue they recommend also. I have done 2 boards.

Speaking from experience patching whitewater rafts which are of a similar construction you need to find out what material the SUP is made from, presumably it is PVC and get the right patch kit. For raft patching the back of an old spoon makes a good tool for really smoothing down the patch once you apply it. Make sure you round off the corners of the patch as well to help stop it lifting

Hi Will, we've had some good success with getting boards back on the water if you want to drop by the shop. Easy to assess how successful it'll be by looking at the board.

Sam, I have a Naish wind surf sup with a repair needed. Where can I drop it off to you?

I've had the side fin mounts peel away on 2 tri fin boards, and Aquaseal does not stick to the board, at least for me. They DO stick for a while, until I roll up the deflated board and then the fin mounts peel off.

Yes, there are two golden rules for all repairs, inflatable or not:
- sand everything that will get the glue or resin
- let cure under pressure (clamps)

We have just inflated our ULI sups after 4 years in storage . The sups were rolled as instructed and stored in ULI storage bags.
Both sups delaminated at 12 PSI totally wrecked .
At $1600 each I could not recommend ULI inflatables our 9 yo hard boards are like new .
I would love to hear from long time users of inflatables that last as they have there uses but not if 4 years is there usable life
