Just prior to the first hurricane to come through my neighborhood last month (Frances), when everyone was in a panic and clearing their garages of unwanted stuff (making room for their cars I guess) I found an early 70’s era single fin board sitting with a bunch of junk at the curb in my friend’s neighborhood. Aside from being really yellow, the board is in pretty good shape - it needs some general ding repair but nothing too bad - with the exception of a hole that looks to have been drilled with what I’d say was a 1/2 inch diameter bit straight through from the top deck to the bottom. The hole is back near the tail so my guess is that it was used for some type of leash attachment.
Anyway, can I just cover one end of the hole with the thin sheet of plastic that came with the Ding All kit and fill the hole with a resin/q-cell mix and then glass?
Also, any suggestions for a new leash attachment? Maybe a fiberglass leash loop?
This is the first time I’ve tackled a repair like this so any advice is appreciated.
