What we fix
-
Deep scratches and gouges
Sand, reef and board racks leave their marks. We sand them out, fill with resin and level the surface again.
-
Chipped tips and edges
We clean up the chip, fill it and blend it back into the outline of the wing.
-
Factory marks
The centerline is marked before sanding and drawn back on afterwards, so lining up your setup stays easy.
Cracks, soft spots or a damaged mast need a closer look. Send photos and we'll tell you straight whether it can be repaired or should be replaced.

Day 1, 4 October
-
Inspection
Every scratch is checked by eye and by hand. The centerline is marked before anything gets sanded.
-
Sanding
The damaged top layer is sanded back by hand.
-
Degreasing
Dust off, then a solvent wipe so the resin bonds properly.
-
Chipped tip
Loose material is scraped away and the edge is cleaned up.
-
Resin
Resin is brushed into the scratches and spread thin.
-
Leveling
Once the resin has cured, it is wet-sanded flat until the surface feels smooth.
-
Finish coat
A finish coat goes on and cures overnight.
Day 2, 5 October
-
Finishing
The cured coat gets a final hand finish.
-
Ready
Centerline back on, surface even. The wing is ready to ride.

Questions
What do you need to give a quote?
Two photos, one close-up of the damage and one of the whole part, the brand and model, and a few words on what happened.
How long does a repair take?
The repair on this page took about 24 hours, most of it waiting for resin and coating to cure. Your timing depends on the damage and how busy we are, so we confirm it with the quote.
Can every foil be repaired?
Most scratches, gouges and chips can. A cracked mast is safer to replace, and we'll tell you so.
Will a repair affect my warranty?
It can. Some brands treat sanding and refinishing as a user modification. If your foil is still under warranty, check with the brand first.
Which parts do you work on?
Carbon front wings and stabilizers. For masts and fuselages, send photos and we'll tell you what's possible.
Send us a photo of the damage
A close-up of the damage, one shot of the whole part, plus the brand and model. We'll tell you what it takes.
