Colour Matching & Pigment Fill
Pigment fill is recommended for coloured board repairs. We add resin‑tint or pigment to match the original colour as closely as possible. Clear boards can also be matched, though ageing and yellowing can make this more difficult. Fluoro colours may take longer to match.

Surfboard Fin Box Repairs & Upgrades
We repair all fin systems — FCS, FCS II, Futures, single fin boxes, glass‑ins and more. We can also replace or upgrade old plugs if fins are no longer available.

Gloss & Polish Finishes
We offer gloss and polish finishes when requested. Final finish depends on the surface of your board.
Surfboard Pin Line Repairs
We restore damaged pin lines caused by rail dings. Pin lines are delicate and can reduce board value if damaged — we’ve been repairing them for decades.
Surfboard Restorations
Got an old board with sentimental value? We restore classic boards to their former glory.
PU & Epoxy Resin Surfboard Repairs
We repair all PU and epoxy boards, including composite constructions such as Tuflite with carbon rails or inlays. We work extensively with Firewire, Thunderbolt, Tuflite (Surftech) and Futureflex. Note: A $30 surcharge applies to epoxy surfcraft due to material cost and additional labour time.
Before You Bring Your Board In
Remove all tape / waterproof patches.
Take off leash and remove fins.
Make sure your board is free from dirt & sand.
