If I have a small crack on the tail of my surfboard should I get it repaired immediately?

Question

It is very small, and seems to be mostly below the surface.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Wake is right.

This is what board stickers come in handy for!

Answer 2

no if it dosen't affect the way you surf..

Answer 3

A piece of tape will do the trick until you can get it repaired to ensure no water gets under the glass.   A repair on a small crack with a ding repair kit is a no brainer.  Pick up a kit at your local board shop or boating supply store and repair it yourself to prolong the life of your board.

Answer 4

If you plan on keeping your board for a while, get it fixed. Even small cracks allow water to get in. This is how your board starts to delaminate. If you are planning on getting a new board in a couple of months to a year, don't sweat it.

Answer 5

No, The only way to test the crack in the board is to go out on the highest wave
