You're the first one I've seen repair one of these boards. I have several in disrepair and this is great information. I'd love to see more of these, most especially if you could work on some of the handles. I have always been confused as to how they are attached and how they are repaired. Keep up the good work, cheers.

I really like that you use foam for your repairs. I’ve been picking up scraps of PU at a local shop so I have plenty if I have to fix mine or a friend’s board. I just started trying out expanding PU for some fixes and haven’t quite mastered it yet. Glad to see someone else going that route! Now if I could only find them in white, it would be awesome.

Thank you so much for making this video. I bought a 10’2” NSP used from a surf school. You could imagine the wear. But I got a real good price. I could make the right repairs due to this video. Thank you and I did subscribe.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I've watched it like 10 times now and I learn something new every time. Time to find some PU foam.

[dudeleboski]

Wow, I always thought that PU would eat the EPS! New to me!

[walterbunso]

You use the same paint I use to use. Nice work.

I didn’t think of using the foam to fill in the dings on the surfboard I’m prepping to art/paint. I used resin so now it will be a messy sanding.

[westwindsailer]

great tips, repairing a windsurf board, but much of this applies especially the finishing.

[keitholiver]

can you use the expandable foam that comes in a pressure can. l know there is a can that puts out a cheap foam and a can that is more expensive and it's more like a surfboard foam. l do like the fact that you mixed the runny and you called it U P foam, can you get thyat on e bay. l like you video as you exsplan is in simple terms. thanks Keith

I totally thought you just used great stuff crack sealer from the hardware store. I don't know if they have that in Australia but we use it to fill cracks in window frames and drywall.
It looks the same. I wonder if it would work.

Thanks great video. What pu foam do u use. I have a snapped eps tolhurst with no timber stringer. Have repaired pu snaps and creases but never one of the tolhurst mal.

Question, why wouldn't you laminate over your 'fill coat' of resin + bubbles? Right after it gone tacky. Doable but on these jobs just to big or it to properly work?

[oembhui]

Could you give the link to the type of foam you are using please. You say you're mixing it, but all I can find is foam that comes out of cans like a spray can.
Thanks for your help. Two part mix for foam ???

Just dinged my week old Torq epoxy surfboard, attempted to do a solarez repair, but started sanding and these little holes are showing up, thinking they are air bubbles, Any advice on how to get rid of them, cheers.

hi, thanks for the video! what would you recommend to use for a PU foam, 4 lb/ft³ density (14x expansion) is enough? which one do you use?

[dudeleboski]

So.. how much would you charge for that repair? If you don’t mind me asking. In the UK 80-150 pounds

[floti]

I have a question, here in germany everyone say work with epoxy ... PU will eat your Board, can you link your PU Foam that i could try it like you?

Greetings from Germany

[johngibson]

Would 6 Lb Density Expanding Foam work? Thanks

[rainham]

would a can of spray expanding pu foam work? ..the type for insulation etc
