Common questions

Where can I get my board repaired on the North Shore?
From Haleiwa up to Sunset there's a dense cluster of ding repairers and shaping rooms — see the shops grouped by area above.
How busy are repairers during the winter season?
Very. When the North Shore is firing (roughly November to February) boards break fast and shops fill up — expect longer turnarounds and get your board in early.
Do they repair epoxy as well as PU boards?
Most do both PU/polyester and epoxy/EPS. Confirm with the shop, as epoxy boards need the correct resin.
