 Mon May 10, 10 4:51 pm board repair question |
 |
|
There is a two inch crack in the top layer of my Underground board. It seems to be a thin layer of fiberglass roving or perhaps a plastic laminate? Would my best fix be to sand the spot down and do a fiberglass patch, or would sun cure resin do fine? Thanks

My camera sucks as bad as my microsoft paint skills so this is the best I could do. The crack is the small line between the logo and the front of the foot pad.

On a snowboard a crack like that usually means it's not just the top layer that has snapped. (meaning it's a total loss)
On most snowboards you also get a "livelong" warranty for damage like this.
I don't know if that's the same with kiteboards.
I can tell you that if you have a wooden core, your top layer is probably no longer stopping water from reaching it.
When this happens your board is completly ruined.

| Underground is VERY strong at standing behind their products. Probably worth contacting them before attempting any repairs.
