You should have stopped Russ surfing it from the tail when he borrowed, being a 100 kg Gorilla and all. Have you tried Balmoral up in NSW they seem to be PSH centred and might be able to source one for you. It's like a good pair of runners (or Threads) you always wish you'd bought two if you'd known how good they were going to be.

Last thought is it seems like a pretty clean break. Maybe somebody in Torcool could repair it by scooping out the guts and then using carbon, or resin inserts to join it. Once you put a new full board deck pad........ I would have thought that somebody good (Stonker?) would make it look like new. I'd still buy a new one and keep the fixed one for Justin. It's only a thought necessity is the mother of invention, I snapped my 6'9" Kym Thompson Klemmy in rather large Beacon in 1973 and then used four broom stick handles as dowel and left over fibreglass cloth and resin from my dad's Sea ply Dinghy. Ugly as hell but saw me through till next summer Job which got me a Donny Allcroft (Ripcurl)custom. They were on the other side of the road then!!!

I just checked their website and it looks like they've got them or can get them. Click on the link or copy and put in the address bar of your computer

www.paddlesurfing.com.au/

click on SUP boards and then follow your nose it says they ship Australia wide for free?? Hope this helps.

There was one on eBay recently for $650. Not sure if it sold.

She's an easy fix if you can spare 4-5 hrs... spread over a week and maybe $50 in materials, providing you can salvage your deck pads? She will probably put on less than 1kg but will never break again where she broke this time, more likely to break either side of the new repair. Let me know if your interested in how to salvage and repair rather than re-glassing the entire blank as previously suggested. You will need access to a pneumatic or high RPM random orbital sander to achieve a seamless join, however, Epoxy repairs are far easier to do than Polyester but they do take longer... so you'll need a little patience if you wish to achieve a successful outcome.

Thanks Gosup will most likely fix it and have it for a spare. Pete
