- Surfboard Ding Repair | How to Fix Buckled Surfboard [EPS + Epoxy]
Buckled boards are a bummer, however, they can be fixed and be as good as new. this is an EPS board, I filled the gap with resin + Q-CELL to rebuild the shape of the board, on top of that I laid 3 layers of fiberglass and ended the job with nice artwork si you can never know it was broken.
Enjoy

Welcome to my channel
My name is Koby and I am a surfboard shaper from Israel
For the last 7 years, I shape and build surfboards in my small workshop and now I will expand for more great projects using Epoxy resin such as River tables, woodworking, and more. I will upload surfboard building tutorials, shaping tools reviews, and great tips about working with epoxy resin art.
All my boards are made from EPS and epoxy resin and I like to go crazy with my resin! I will do swirls using tints and pigments, cloth inlays, weird shapes, and more.
I can talk about surfboards all day, so feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I will do my very best to answer them in the best way possible

I just buckled my almost new board today, and this video is so helpful. Thank you so much... Probably one of the most helpful and well-explained ding repair videos on youtube!!
Thanks! Stay tuned- rail ding repair video coming up soon 🤙🏼
In the video you were saying cut the cloth to be more curved for the buckle for less stress points but does this also apply for rail dings? Mahalos
Depends on the size of the ding and if it's all around the rail 🤙🏼
Good job Koby! I learned some valuable things that really make sense. Thanks for sharing!
You are most welcome 🙏🏽
Amazing job
Love how well explained and through everything is
🤟🤟
Thanks- you are welcome 🤙🏼
Great video, just a question. You put the larger fiberglass first and the smaller ones after as a pyramid. Have you tried the opposite putting the smaller first and larger ones on to to cover the whole area? Any difference?
Great job repairing that man! I don't know if you know or not but sometimes on your videos when you start speaking the sound is very quiet for like the first 30 seconds. It seems like it happens at the beginning of the video, and also sometimes after the cut from a sped up section. Maybe it's just my settings, but just thought I'd let you know. Love watching you work!!
I did notice that today, i will fix that, thanks for commenting 🤙🏼
Hey great job! i have just a question! after the paint is it necessary to put resin?
I don't think i added resin after the paint- i sprayed a lacquer coat - mat finish
Really nice video, you give me hope after buckled my Lost Surfboard last swell, Tnx!
You can fix any board! If you do it alone it worth save it 🙏🏽
hi, for the top coat you using any additive, when I try to sand it the sandpaper just gets sticky with epoxy in it
If the epoxy gets sticky you have an issue with the resin, should be ok without additive. Try to sand lower RPM, it will create less heat and should be ok 🤙🏼
Very professional job, thanks for sharing!
You are welcome 🙏🏽
Hey, is it fundamental to use epoxy resign t repair epoxy boards ? thanks in advance
100% you CANNOT repair epoxy boards with polyester resin - it will melt the foam. But you can repair PU with epoxy 🤙🏼
Awesome fix, just wondering what black paint and clear coat you're using or recommend?
I am using X2 spray paint, you just can't use water based spray paint 🤙🏼
Hey man, great video. I have close to the same exact buckle on my board I want to fix myself. Wanting to know exactly what products I need? Was going to go with the q cell filler but don’t know what epoxy is best.
Any surfboard epoxy will do just fine, you are using minimal quantities so it's ok 🤙🏼
Hi Koby, I am in france and doing my own repair for first time , and well not easy first time also without all the tools ! I'm not sure im doing things totally right but it's not too bad eider ! I am actually wondering which product you use as a final layer ? that you sand with water paper, ,,? I am a bit lost would you mind explaining what do you apply with the brush in the end ? thank you
The last sand is just water after finishing sanding with 240 grit, at the very end i spray matt clear coat, one it is dry it has a small texture to it so i use water paper 1000 grit with water to smooth it. Good luck 🤞
Thank you great content. How does a person realine the bottom rocker? Because after a crease like that, the rocker lines are off.
In this case the bottom was intact- i will work on one that completely broken to give you tips 🤙🏼
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 that will be awesome. Thank you 😊
Nice job! Looks great.
Thanks 🙏🏽
When you sand right after fiberglass dont you start sanding into the fiberglass a little or did I not put enough resin on?
@@mkat_551 i have few layers of fibreglass so i want to level it
Nothing to do with resin amount
If you give me the specific point (min and second of the video) i might understand better your question
The artwork was perfect too. Shame to cover up a high quote repair TBH. You need to have your own logo made up to add to your repairs with that pointy beard on it.
Lol, great idea 😎
I have a question. I got broken surfboard that i want to fix and i would like to strngthen it as well so put more glass and epoxy. It is a PU poly board high performance so it is really light yet very fragile it seems. I see also a lot of little pressure concaves all over the deck and i figure it will be a nightmare trying to glass over that. So if i delaminate Is there a way to fill up those uneven areas some how? Do you know? Thanks!
If you try to fill it it will add alot of weight, you better glass over it keeping the original shape, do 3 layers of 4OZ, start with the widest one (5” min from centre) and end it with a narrow strip, 2.5” wide. All of them wrapping the rails - good luck!
Great video! Is hotcoat is just a final layer of epoxy?
i wondered that as the hot coat for polyester is a special resin with a wax in it.
קובי וידאו מעולה
Thank you 🙏🏽
Nice Video
Thanks! happy you like it
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 Very confident work with great idears on the art work, lovely job.
@@markjamesmullen7407 thanks bro 😎
I have another question. How would you go about fixing a broken in half board? And how did you start shaping?
Broken board is always a challenge, questions how bad is it? If it worth saving I would go with 2 wide layers of 6 oz and final layer 4oz top. Bottom layer minimum 10” far from the break. Bottom 2 layers, 1 6oz and 4oz.
I started shaping 7 years ago taking a short course from local shaper. 🙌🏽
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 thanks my friend! very much.
@@Cuisinenomade1 you are welcome 🤙🏼
Great repair looks awesome. If I may ask , what clear coat did you use at the end to finish off the job?
Just normal spray paint - nothing special, it should not be water based, as long as it is not you are ok, remember to spray a bit of clear coat for even better finish 🤟🏻
Matte clear coat spray, any one will do just fine
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 Thank you 🤙🏼
Very good job,thank for sharimg...how much a repair like this Will cost,?
Glad i found your video! i started today with removing the strip of fiberglass around the buckle and i noticed there is a black strip of carbon fibre tape? under the glass which i cut a bit out of by accident... will this be a problem?
Not at all, no worries, if you enough layers of fiberglass you are ok 🤙🏼
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 thanks Ive managed to fill the crack and now am up to glassing the board.. this video has been a great help!
@@sbeehre let me know how it turned out!
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 I have done the glassing but there was a bubble under a small patch which is annoying but i guess it just grind that part out and re-fill with some cloth and resin then sand it again...
@@sbeehre exactly - good luck 🤞
"you just need a little bit of patience and skills " both of which i don't have
How much does a buckle like this cost to fix?
About 150$ if it was in the middle of the board- 200$
my surfboard says thanks
You are welcome 🙏🏽 keep up the good work 🤙🏼
למה לצבוע עם ספריי בסופו של דבר זה יורד ואז יש כמו גירודים וזה מכוער
תלוי מי צובע ואיך, אני מכין את השטח כמו שצריך, משתמש ב ספריי איכותי ומעל זה סוגר עם לכה. זה מחזיק שנים ולא יורד ולא מתגרד
בנוסף, מה שיותר מכוער זה התיקון, השבר הלבן הזה באמצע… וזה מה שהלקוח רוצה וזה מה שאני הייתי עושה גם כן לעצמי 🤙🏼
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 במקרה כזה מדובר בפשניש להסתיר את התיקון אני תמיד מעדיף תיקון לבן בלי ספריי כי בסופו של דבר הספרי יורד במוקדם או במאוחר ואז המכוער אולי לך יש שיטה אחרת למרוח להקה על ספרי נראה רמה גבוהה של גלשנים שעווה יא בויה
Board is cactus. Fill it with resin just creates a heavy unbalanced board.
The added weight was less than 100gr - made 0 deference to the board balance, the wax you put on the board is heavier and doesn’t make a deference so sorry but you are wrong 🤙🏼
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 yeah righto, so if someone offered you a choice of two boards, one filled with resin and the other not, you wouldn’t care which board??? Great to try save a board from land fill though.
@@amcleod6202 it is not filled with resin, it is on the surface- as i said - less than 50gr
@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 it was 100gr, now it’s 50gr…. Must be magic resin
Surfboard repair is a fulfilling work but badly paid.
Well, i have to say that it is ok here 🤷🏻♂️
Get a real sander?
I got the Mirka duros few month ago 😂😂
