Need to get some keel fins re-glassed on a retro fish. Anywhere y'all can recommend around Eastern or Northern beaches areas?

Gracias.

#GODS QUAD. Try The Ding Doctor at Bronte. Assuming he's still around, been awhile since I needed his skills.

yep, luke is still fixing boards, and doing a fine job. he's putting a new plug into my 5'10 rounded pin at this moment.
his number is 0405 059 134, located at charring cross, across from the pub.

So the worst of the worst happened today. My board was fin chopped by another surfer. I didn't notice the damage until I was back on shore. So now I need to get it repaired. Can anyone recommend a good place to go in or around Sydney?

i used to go to Jackson's in Caringbah/taren point area(sutherland shire) they do a great job and not too pricey..very good with colour matching too.
If you're on the northern beaches or somewhere like that i dont know anyone.

Dewax your board first with a wax scraper and turps, then dry the foam out in the sun for a few days before you take it for repairs.

@Eichmann,

Sydney's a big place, so without knowing where you live it's hard for anyone to give recommendations. I'd advise dropping into the nearest factory as many of them also do ding repairs, and if they don't they'll know the best place to get it fixed.
