Hi,

Was given this board for free and would like some advice on how to repair this large hole myself. I'm a complete beginner so just happy to repair the board myself and learn how to ride then get myself a new one.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Dimensions of hole are 5cm x 9.5cm x 5cm deep. It's on the under side of the board.

Can you put up a pic of the whole board so we can see where the damage is? Then the experts will have a better idea of how to repair it.

Looks like a board that "Pablo Escoba" used to own

Good luck with the repair

Perfect fit for a katana shark shied no?

I was thinking that originally..

Thanks

Carefully scrape out all of the wax that is in the hole, get a piece of board foam roughly the same shape, a bit smaller obviously, mix up some POLYESTER resin and q-cell and apply as necessary. you may need to do two mixes. Better too little than too much. Sand back to perfection.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll give that method a go.

need to glass over it too
there was a recent post about this

Yes indeed bolgo. I havent actually done many big fixes since I went epoxy a decade ago...
