What do you think? I buckled by newest board. Is it worth repairing? ( I’ve already shaped it’s replacement. )Its buckled in the middle. It road beautifully. Any suggestions for the best method?
Once a boards back is broken it is very unlikely it will ever be the same again. If you accept this before you expect more, then just go out and have fun on your new board. A hint on repair though. I always used a wooden bench big enough to support most of the board. Then I used nails, string and spacer blocks to tie it to the bench to try and get the rocker back to normal, depending which way it buckled. Repair the board while held correctly on the bench. A heat gun does wonders on light buckles, sometimes no further repair is needed. If the stringer is damaged, slot in some 4"-6" thin ply on either side and repair over it. Just remember, if your back was broken would you ever be the same?
