Gutted! 
what ya's reckon, fixable?
if anyone knows of an extremely talented person who could repair my board it would be much appreciated.
cheers

Not an easy fix but the snap is clean, can be done 
Edit<< on closer inspection it has delamed a bit but still can be fixed.
Mark - bad news! Did that happen today along the Trigg stretch? I pulled out of a few 'cause the consequences of being pitched looked bad...
Thats a kiteboard and unfortunately that particular brand is not made strong enough for kiting! Looks fixable though!
Yeah thats fixable. I had one snap like that second surf and got it fixed, bought a new one in the meantime though and never rode the fixed one again so can't comment on the 'it'll never be same factor". Totally forgot about it and one day thought what it is in that bag and pulled out what looked a brand new board(bar the snap repair!).
marketed as both kite and surf...which i do use for both.
fingers crossed a repairer can weave their magic!!
one understated factor thats an eps core and epoxy glass .can be vac laminated but pretty major repair 1x 4oz and 2x4oz deck also those rail channels in the deck are a key factor in strenght on those boards ,tough job to get it back to original spring
ended up gettting the repair done and turned out a treat, stoked with the job...had a few good sessions on it then last night my board again got gobbled up by the shorey down south Trigg.
The first repair held up but this time it snapped an inch lower, I'm thinking the rigidness of the first repair may have inadvertantly affected sections just below and above........just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem?
cheers
I had a broken kiteboard repaired twice. It was not worth the effort.
Ten hours down the track a hard hit on some chop and you feel that little give under your front foot as it breaks at a point a few cm from where the repair was made.
I suspect that the board is weakened through the broken area and the repair makes a hard, unflexing section and the load is transferred to the next bit of foam and it snaps again.
I currently have an F-One kiteboard and it is fantastic. If that one breaks I would look at getting a local to shape something similar for me. The only problem with having a local do it is getting all the little bits put on like straps and deck pad and all that. That could get expensive.
I personally think most people buy boards that are waaaay understrength. Most people aren't good enough for the marginal weight saving of a lighter glass job to be noticeable in their surfing. We are talking degrees of ****teenths (yes that is a technical term).
However, a lighter glass job is noticeable under the arm in a shop and feels sexier and sportier. The strongerr board feels like a heavy pig. Guess which one sells and why shapers keep putting stock boards out with dodgy glass jobs?
I have never snapped any of my customs, but then again i get double six oz decks and a six oz bottom. An extra kilo of glass makes bugger all difference when you throw 85 kgs of me on it. Even a light weight bloke will weigh 65 kgs and that extra kilo still won't provide any real difference in performance.
Snapped boards - and I have snapped boards off the shelf - almost invariably snap either side of the repair. They don't ever go the same either, but I think it subtle changes in the concaves or rockers that do it. Subtle differences in the bottom profile does make enormous differences in board performance.
My next custom will be a tow board that I use kiting. You can imagine the glass job on that baby.
Or is that I a kiteboard I use for towing?
