I've done all my own repairs for the last several years but don't think I'm up to fixing a carbon/bamboo/ plastic board.  I broke a fin box this morning on a used Focus Torpedo Carbon board that has the "ACT" construction.  I've fixed fin boxes before, but  the ACT material is not going be something that I have the resin/cloth to fix, not to mention a router.  The inside of the board looks hollow under the fin box which is a bit of a concern and will need to be built up and routed back out.  How hard is it normally to break a black plastic future fin finbox?  I  surfed three waves and kicked off the back before shallow water so I was pretty surprised  when I noticed the ragged break of the box itself. I check the board pretty carefully after each use so sure it was not a problem before this am.

Thanks I saw their ads after I posted this, they get fairly decent reviews too.  Only about ten minutes away too.

The best for sure, but don't be shocked the cost.  Just drop off you board and walk away...
