    How to fix a snapped board?

    Hey i have a new 5"11 el fuego and its clean snapped about 1.5ft from the tail. What would be the best way to fix it? Its only held together by the top skin, the foam and bottom are snapped.

    It'll be a similar fix process to a standard board. You could insert carbon tubes or wooden strips to strengthen the repair and control the flex across that area.

    Just make sure you use epoxy resin. Poly will melt the foam.
