That's a difficult repair, to get it cosmetically right.... Wood grain..... best option might be a repair, with yellow paint/resin, and a white nose "inlay" with a Naish Sticker over the white inlay. Or fawn/timber coloured inlay....

Best of luck to your friend !

I don't understand? What's the paddle got to do with it?

Ummm yeah right-it's a stand up paddle surf board.

Any board will crease/snap in the right (wrong) circumstances-particularly if the construction is light weight/poor.

I have done a fair bit of prone paddle surfing on my SUPs when it's too windy for standup paddling or playing with a 1' shore break on a shallow tidal beach. It's fun. You can get your head inside the teensy weensy little barrels.

no paddle no turn, and if you've never ridden a sup before you wouldnt realise that if you did want to paddle into a wave lying down then would need to be way further towards the back of the sup to stop it nose diving. did i mention this bloke was a massive kook????

even with the board missing 1ft of its nose it still has heaps of rocker

ok i'll chip in here, my naish boards have never snapped or creased even when i have run over (accidently) other craft, or been absolutely punished in big surf, although i have never tried to stuff mine into a sandbank!!!!

And I know of a *board on the goldy that suffered the same fate recently after a close encounter with a sand bank... not something that only happens to Naish.
