Fix it before it soaks

A cracked or open ding lets water into the foam, which adds weight and can delaminate your board over time. A quick sun-cure resin patch seals it on the beach so you can keep surfing. Keep a small kit in your board bag for trips.

Quick repair basics

Dry the area fully, sand around the ding, fill with the right resin for your board (polyester or epoxy), and cure in the sun. Match the resin to your board type, since the wrong resin will not bond properly. For major damage, see a professional shaper.

Frequently asked questions

How do I fix a ding in my surfboard?
Dry the area completely, sand around the ding, fill it with the correct sun-cure resin for your board, and let it cure in the sun. Sand it smooth when hard. Always dry the foam first, since trapped water ruins the repair.
What is the difference between epoxy and polyester resin?
Polyester resin is for traditional polyurethane boards, and epoxy resin is for epoxy or EPS boards. Epoxy works on PU boards, but polyester resin can melt EPS foam, so match the resin to your board.
Can I surf right after a ding repair?
A sun-cure resin patch can be ready in minutes once fully cured and sanded, which is why it is great for beach fixes. For larger or structural damage, let it fully set or see a professional.
