To fix or get fixed?

Psydeshow

So board got dinged up good last week, just wondering is it worth trying to fix it myself or bring it to someone to get it done up? I know I won't be saving money doing it myself so it would be more out o interest kind of thing.

If you reckon it's do-able myself, can anyone point to a decent guide for it? and if not a decent repair guy in cork?

Attached are pictures of the damage for your assessing pleasure.

Jebus H Christ, I'd call that more than a ding! Go to a shaper/repair man, no question.

yeah called it a ding for want of a better word really, and to preserve a modicum of optimism on the thing...:)

I'm sure if you google "ding repair guide" you'll loads, have a look here http://www.boardlady.com/ you could fix it yourself but starting out I think you are taling on a bit much. Either of these two could fix it to the point where you would hardly see it. http://www.aorsurfboards.com/blog/ http://www.glidesurfboards.net/home.html

@Low Pockets
The short version is that as I paddled out (in the whitewater I hasten to add) someone else surfed in, and through my board: An unstoppable kook meets an immovible muppet.

I probably should have been paddling further out from the main line up (such as it was), but I reckon he probably should have looked where he was going.

@bigsurf
Nice one Pearse, might have someone who can do it, but if not I'll drop ya a line.
