Windsurfing boards are light for easier takeoff, but professionals can show basic techniques for repairing boards, fins, and bases.

To repair a small hole in the bottom of a windsurf board, prepare the board, clean it, and sand the area around the hole. Clean it from silicon, cut off affected areas, and repair it with fiberglass mats and epoxy. Flush out the damaged area with fresh water and allow it to dry completely. Sea water will not allow the repair to key into the board.
