Post subject:  SUP nose vertical crack
I just got a crack on the center of the nose of my race board about 3.5 inch in length top to bottom and 2 small cracks coming from the main crack.
After inspecting the damage I noticed that the crack is only on the gel coat not the fiber, so far it doesn't look that is water going into the board. I don't know how it happened but I want it fixed before I bring my board back in the water.
Any ideas of who repairs Hobie SUPs in south east Florida.

If you want a professional repair job, check with a local surf shop and ask them who they recommend for repairs. If you just want to seal it and get back on the water, rough it up a little with some sandpaper, put some epoxy on it, and sand it smooth. There are also a lot of ding repair videos on YouTube if you'd like to do it yourself. Very easy to make a functional repair, but it takes a bit of skill for ones that look good with color matching.

Super easy to get is smooth with some clear packing tape. Hardest part is to color match your paint. So i just owned the scar and made mine a nice patchwork square
