......Answer: Dont be an idot with ur new bag
Ok, best results, hit a trimmer or boot repair dude with an open arm machine. They should be able to patch it for you.
If you want to do it yourself. Head to a marine trimmer, get some boat hooding (any fabric that has a roughish back)
Then get some Sikaflex, should be able pick at Bunnings, comes in white or black, get black.
now glue a bit of the fabric either side. Its not going to last forever, but it will get you out of the poo.
Cheers Azz!!!!!

Maybe hitting him wouldnt be the best way to ask for help
I was only gonna do it with an open palm!!!!! At first!!!!!
haha good luck with that one, Mizu. I had a similar tear on my board bag magically happen between when I checked my bag in and when I picked it up after a flight. Freddy used some kind of fibreglass resin to seal it up I think (I’ll check with him in the morning - he’s zzzzing now!). Semi-permanent but it held us together quite nicely for our 2wk NZ trip this year & is still together. Just do it a few days in advance so it has enough time to dry properly…we didn’t and the resin stank the car out on the way to the train and then the train carriage on the way up to the airport. hahaha
Hahahahaa, yeah the bag will be in our studio accom for the two weeks, so I’ll def make sure it’s got some glue/resin/azz’s reco on it asap, thanks cords!!!!!
