Hey Hull Hipsters - How to repair bottoms?
      #2266651 - 03/15/12 12:43 PM

Lent a friend the whale tampon (9'8" Spencer Kellog Velosimm) and he told me he accidentally put a concave in by the nose area when the board was stored in his van. I am wondering how to repair as I hear people use bondo to fill in the dents and then sand to blend the bondo in. Any other repair ideas? Will get pics of the actual damage. Maybe add more concave and turn it in to a hull nose rider.

Ha! You should see my Spence after my brother in law borrowed it. The leash cord snapped and he lost on the rocks at Hobson's on a high tide. Thank God Spence talked me into trying a epoxy/eps version. It only came out with a 1/2 dozen small dings rather being destroyed like my poly boards would have been.

Of course this anecdote doesn't help you in the slightest.

Is the glass cracked or broken? How big is it? I have one about 4 inches across, and maybe a 1/4" deep at most, on the bottom of mine and it doesn't make a bit of difference to the way it rides.
