Many of you may have needed to carry out a small repair on your windsurf board. In this case, there are two options: contact a professional repairer, or, given the modest extent of the damage, rely on do-it-yourself. Let's see how to proceed in this second case.

A similar situation happened to me recently. In one of the last sessions, returning to the shore I hit a small submerged rock with the board, getting a minor damage to the hull (see photo). So I decided to fix the board on my own (it's not the first time). In this article, I describe how I did the repair, sharing my experience, which will come in handy for many.

2) Grouting

3) Second sanding

4) Painting.
