Funny thing I have repaired and made boards for over 30 years and have never see one snapped nose to tail seen the bottom laminate pulled off which was repaired had a kitespeed board snapped width wise bottom laminate split repaired and working well

So to say nose to tail is a very wide scope so if the guy wants help post some photos
And I will give him some non biased advice for free shame he has not put his location on the forum

The chinook fin boxes are nice and simple to work with. Try asking at you local windsurf shop. They usually know some for repairs.

NICE WORK there --chipmunk-- !
I'm "Impressed" ; and the way Ya fixed it hardly added Any extra weight !!
Most people would have filled the crack with Cabosil, then painted over it ;
& it would have weighed a Bunch more.

"bilateraly bifricated badness"
I like that one. Pics would be the only way to understand this one.
Unless we have a world premier here, it can only be a delamination.
