Matthew’s 7’11” Starboard SUP
This board was bought second hand by Matthew and he was concerned
over previous repair work – this lump of “plod” wasn’t watertight as it didn’t
flex in unison which the rest of the board – which results in stress cracks and
water inside the core. This SUP took ten days to dry out before rebuilding!
The whole board was refreshed, both rails repaired were needed and paint work
blended in – ready for French Atlantic Surf.
Enjoy Matt 🙂
The usual wear and tear.
After removal of all damage and fill n go plod,
I rebuilt the tail pod correctly using
carbon fiber instead of glass fiber.

A starboard carbon downwinder in for repair.
It was temporarily fixed with a solar cured resin.
Not the best adhesion.

Nick’s 404 race sup
In for minor dings a freshen up and then I said
“how about a carbon fibre nose whilst I’m at it – oh and I’ll remove the deck traction”
The nose was in need of my surgery skills and the carbon makes it look very classy & strong.
After removing the sup traction deck pad I reinforced the stringer standing zone with more carbon fibre.
I’ll never agree to remove deck grip again from a SUP – if any of you readers have tried you will understand 🙂

Gary’s winter big wave board, with a fin missing.
Note this fin had been previously repaired.
All sorted and repaired to last.
I laminated the fin with black resin to match the others –
as all I could get were grey fins (in the back ground).
