Our Work
Common Repairs
Nose Repair
Clean rebuilds for broken or crushed noses, matched to the existing board shape and finish where possible.
Delamination
Delamination repairs remove damaged glass, rebuild the affected area, and seal the board so it can get back in the water.
Colour Matching & Pigment Fill
Colour work uses resin tint or pigment to match the original board as closely as possible. Fluoro colours and aged clear boards may take longer.
Fin Box Repairs & Upgrades
We repair FCS, FCS II, Futures, single fin boxes, glass-ons and older plugs, including replacements when fins are no longer available.
Before Drop Off
Bring It In Ready
Remove temporary patches
Take off tape and waterproof patches before bringing the board in.

Take off the leash and remove fins where possible.
Clean off sand and dirt
Boards should be free from dirt and sand so the damage can be assessed properly.
