    Default Quick repair advice

    So I was cruising around today when it started to drizzle. On my way home I miscalculated the road conditions and ate #### on a hill going about 20-25ish. I was able to roll out with only a little road rash and a bruised hand but more importantly my board took some damage too.



    I've got a pretty good idea on what to do repair wise. I'm thinking I clear the little loose pieces out of there, push the bent glass back and fill'er up with epoxy. Sound like a good plan? Also if anyone has suggestions for a good, cheap epoxy that'd be great!

    That's not that bad. Is there a crack?

    I'd just leave it. All boards take damage, adds to the character. If you really wanna stop nose damage get some nose/tail guards. They'll save you some heartache.

    No crack, or at least no noticeable one. I know it's not too bad, I just figure I might as well do whatever I can.

    it doesn't seem like it needs any repair. i would leave it be unless you start seeing an actual crack later on

    It is not a bad idea to give it a shot of poly to help keep out moisture.
