- I got the Destination Surf ding repair kit for Christmas, right after
- I got my tail smashed Christmas morning. Most shops have it.
- My board looks great even though it was badly smashed.
- People look at it and say "YOU did that?" See, even girls can do it!
-
- If there's a trick, I guess its keep doing it until it looks right. If
- you don't patch it well, it'll sand down again. It took me three tries
- to get it professional looking. The last go round I used more cloth and
- extra fiber on the edges. The brown streak should disappear when you
- sand it down. Its easier if your board doesn't have a color
- coat and better still if you've had a lot of practice fixing old
- beater boards (that's what they're good for).
