Gear Talk / small crack repair on a Starboard brushed carbon

« on: April 22, 2018, 04:04:27 PM »

Hi,

I hope someone can offer their advice.  A gust of wind blew my Sprint blew off my truck rack yesterday.  It landed on the truck next to me before landing on the asphalt.  Remarkably no damage other than a 1 inch crack in the footwell.  I noticed bubbles coming out of the crack today before paddling.  Its about 1 inch long. 

Can anyone give me some advice on how to seal?

Thanks
Mike

Downwind and Racing / how big a difference do race boards make?

« on: July 17, 2012, 07:46:43 AM »

Hi,
I'm very new to the sport but decided to enter a 10+ mile race recently.  Loved the race, but I got blown away by all other competitors.  I assume a big portion of this is poor technique and fitness.  I'm curious how big a difference the race boards make.  I was on a Riviera 10'6" board.  At the finish line, a little kid even came up and asked how short the board was.  I love the sport and I'm not sure how crucial it is to spend the extra dollars to at least stay within eyesight of the pack.

Thanks
