We have several boards to repair and this a good opportunity to volunteer for an essential service in running the club. If you have never repaired a board before or need a refresher, we will also host a clinic to teach how to repair a board! Use fiberglass and epoxy to make a broken board work like new. An essential skill for running the club, and advanced windsurfers. Board repair skills also translate well to repair of other glass-fibre and carbon craft, such as kayaks and boats.
After the first session we can determine additional sessions together. Depending on the complexity it takes 2-4 separate sessions to repair a board.
We will work on board(s) that are in need of repair, so this is a practical clinic. Before we start we will go over board design and the principles and tools involved. We will inspect the damage, decide on a course of action, and then perform the first steps for the repair. Repair is done in steps to allow the layers of foam and epoxy to cure.
