How to repair a broken surfboard DingDrx style (Tutorial link in description)

[@middleagedshred]

If you are looking to repair a broken surfboard watch the tutorial that I followed for this repair by DingDrx kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGeVoqislsuqq7t1​

Excellent video. The music choice was spot on!!

[@middleagedshred]

Thanks man..)

[@dingdrx]

You did good! Mostly good lol. I would definitely recommend that you use epoxy even on a regular board. At least up until it’s time to laminate. It’s much lighter, stronger and more flexible. Plus it’s WAY easier to sand… A bit heavy on the cloth. It’s so far up on the nose that stringer reinforcements can be pretty light. Overall it’s pretty decent. Most of my criticisms would mainly be in regard to alleviating the work load. You did a few things that made the job unnecessarily harder but it came out ready to rock! Thanks for the recognition 🤙🏼

hah, that was a blast from the past, without you Lazarus may not have been ressurected...Yea there was stuff I didnt need to do but I thought i,d rather do stuff I didnt need to than not do stuff I needed to...Lazarus has been through many bodged repairs since and has just sustained another bigish injury but I,m sure he,ll be back again ..)

[@anon8730]

i was waiting for it to snap again in the end hahaha. Good job!

[@middleagedshred]

Haha..just done another round of repairs but that snap repair is still holding..)

[@twosurfersinavan]

I really enjoyed watching that. Can't believe you saved it haha. Well done dude. Epic video. 🤙

[@middleagedshred]

Thanks man....when it first happened I was gonna turn it into a shorter board but then I saw the tutorial and decided to fix it....If I had known I wouldnt have snapped the nose off completely..)

[@twosurfersinavan]

@@middleagedshred still though, epic save. 👍

[@nottherealmccoy4955]

Brilliant! Strong as, I love it! And that wax job is even more ancient than mine! Next level Womp, mind blown!! :)

[@middleagedshred]

Thanks man...That wax went like that after 2 sessions..)

[@middleagedshred]

[@nicozx191]

Excellent, there should be more videos like yours in youtube, it seems the majority of people ditch their snapped boards lol

[@middleagedshred]

Haha..I almost turned it into a shorter board and re-shaped the nose but then I seen the Ding doc tutorial and thought i,d give it a try...Any snapped boards throw them my way...)

[@morganhill1]

Nice one, very helpful for some! I once crashed my board at Newquay someone’s leach tied around my neck, luckily the board want damaged much 🏄‍♂️

[@middleagedshred]

gnarly......ever since I took a board to the face I try to keep my guard high around my face and head as soon as I wipeout....and Thanks man..the DingDrx knows how to do board repair tutorials the right way..

[@Ayaki_TV]

I guess it still alive! Cool bro! Where are you from?

[@middleagedshred]

yea..cant keep Lazarus down. )....im in North East UK

[@Ayaki_TV]

@@middleagedshred I recently broke my board in half. I want to reproduce the repair, as in your video and DingDrx. Can you tell me what you mixed the epoxy with? (White powder) Is that Aerosyl or smth?

[@middleagedshred]

@@Ayaki_TV The stuff i use is called Q-cell sometimes it,s called microballs or microballoons..it,s basically the powder you get when you sand surfboard foam

[@Ayaki_TV]

@@middleagedshred Got it. Thank you.

[@sjyproductions1]
