This blast from the past was in for a Rat Rod style resto to get it watertight.
The results.
This Board was made in Boscombe when it was still Hampshire, now its Dorset as the boundaries have been moved…guessing it was made in the 70s, note the red glitter fin!

Owen’s race paddleboard with rail dings –

Repaired with carbon fibre…
Ready to race.

Caring paddleboard SUP surfboard Kiteboard repairs in Bournemouth Poole

Ian’s kiteboard which was presented to me with a weird buttock shaped bulge
on its planing surface, (I kid yee not).
I punctured said bulges and they deflated with an audiable hiss..which I had recorded this.
This was caused by damage to the laminate which had absorbed water into the kiteboards core –
turning to steam in hot climate/car/sunshine.
Notice the witness marks in the core, taking the shape of the delamination.
I choose a Veneer sandwich repair.. the circular shape is ideal as it will dissipate any forces acting on it .
Just needing a hotcoat and polish to complete enjoy Ian.
