Snowboard Repairs in Sydney. Where to go?
You could probably repair it yaself if ya the handy type!!!!! Araldite 2 Part Epoxy, a file and some clamps will do the trick!!!!!
!
Is this the right stuff to use?? I was looking at what i could use to repair my ding myself and on the epoxy label it said it wont adhere to certain types of plastics. A quick iphone google while i was in bunnings told me that alot of snowboard bases were this kind of plastic.
I didnt buy it then as i thought id research more, so ill consider this the start of my research.

As long as the surface is rough and has anchor points, the epoxy will bond fine!!!!!
It is more of a sealant plug to protect the wood core, and if there is any wood exposed then it will definitely bond to it and hold the plug in!!!!!

Yep, this.
ahhh nice, i think thats all mine needs, for now anyways. something to keep the moisture out until the end of the season

That’s the Number 1 priority!!!!! Just make sure it’s dry as before ya plug it!!!!!
Hey Josh,
we do all kinds of snowboard repairs (in house) and yours doesn’t look too much of an issue.
If those guys in your area should not be able to help you out, why not enjoy a drive to the beautiful Northern Beaches

Thanks heaps mate. Any ball park figure that a repair like this could set me back? Will definately keep you guys in mind.
Hey Josh, did you get the name and contact details of the person who damaged your board? If it was me, I’d sure as hell be making them pay for any repairs, or a replacement board.
Nah unfortunately no details, i was just suprised that i wasnt hurt or injured from the crash didnt even notice this damage till after. Although i did have a headache from a sore neck for the next 2 days lol.
Should stand it up with the openin pointin upwards, and in a warm dry room (preferably wood fire heated), and also for as long as possible!!!!!
Minimum about a week if ya can!!!!!
Best of luck with it, mate!!!!!
I have changed the way i had it resting this afternoon. It has been in the house not the garage so its nice and warm and cosy haha
Definitely get that fixed properly. STM and Balmoral Boards are two good options. Both awesome shops to browse around too, so it’s worth the drive to get your board fixed. If you leave it or do a home repair, you risk damaging the board a whole lot worse. Get the professionals to fix it and it will be pretty much as good as new. They might even need to cut the edge to straighten it out (don’t quote me on that).
Thanks heaps rider, price depending on the way i do the repair. I love the board so would like to get it fixed properly but there is that amount where it becomes more viable to fix it at home and then look at a new board. Lets face it, we all love buying new things lol.
Thanks heaps for all the help guys, its really appreciated.
Will keep you all posted on what the outcomes are.
Cheers

Just browsed over again, and realized that ya had said bases!!!!!
Yeah, P-Tex is the shit for bases, but I’d still use Epoxy for the main repair, then P-Tex to fill in any grooves in the base!!!!!
And let us know how it all pans out for ya, Josh!!!!!

If you get charged over $40 your getting ripped.
My mates board was 3 to4 times worse than yours and he got charged $40 on mountain to repair it overnight.
I’ll gladly vouch for the Balmoral boys - they really know their stuff.
Hey Guys,
Just to update, my board is out with Darren at STM Bondi to get repaired. I popped by there the other day, took my board in and he seemed to think it will be a fairly straight forward and easy repair. $40 it will cost me, should get it back early next week.
Will post up some pics when i get it back.
Cheers
Josh
Good stuff, Josh. Darren is great with repairs.
