HOW IT WORKS

The easiest, most durable, cost effective surfboard repair kit on the planet goes on in seconds and stays on until you're ready to take it off.

  • Dry Your Board

    Take a towel, your friends shirt or blow real, real hard on your board until the damaged area is dry. It's important not to trap excess water in and around the damaged area.

  • Apply Your Bandage

    Once you've selected the proper Bandage for the area (see below), apply it with a firm, even pressure. Once on, smooth out by hand, ensuring no bubbles or loose enges.

  • Go Shred

    That's it! Wax up your board and your Bandage and get back into the lineup. Your board is water tight and ready to rip! Just try not to rip into a rock this time dingus.

How To Apply A Board Bandage

  • Butterfly

    Designed for rail dings, the Butterfly Bandage grips both the deck and bottom of your board, while its tapered center eliminates wrinkles for a clean, secure hold.

  • Diamond

    Sharp where it counts, smooth where it matters. The Diamond Bandage keeps a low profile with an angular center to prevent wrinkles in tight spots-perfect for nose, tail, and near-fin repairs.

  • Circle

    Rock puncture? Sketchy encounter? The Circle Bandage is built for punctures of all kinds. Slap it on and get back to shredding.

  • Rectangle

    Summer crowds get sketchy. Take a fin to your board? The large, Rectangle Bandage delivers maximum coverage and a rock-solid hold for serious damage.

How Board Bandages Work: The Smarter Way to Fix a Surfboard

If you've ever dealt with a surfboard ding, you know the pain. One crack turns into water intrusion, delamination, and a forced trip to the surfboard repair shop. Traditional fixes like epoxy surfboard repair kits, resin, or DIY fiberglass patches can work-but they take time, tools, and patience you probably don't have when the surf is firing.

That's where Board Bandages change the game.

Board Bandages are an instant surfboard ding repair solution designed to seal damage fast, keep water out, and get you back in the water immediately. No sanding, no resin, no curing time.

What Makes Board Bandages Different From Traditional Surfboard Repair?

Board Bandages are built with purpose-designed technology, not guesswork. Each Bandage uses a multilayered vinyl construction that creates a durable, flexible barrier to seal out water while moving naturally with your board. On top, a proprietary textured top sheet allows wax to adhere normally, making Board Bandages safe and effective for under-foot dings without sacrificing traction. Underneath, a custom 3M adhesive delivers a strong, surf-ready hold that stays put in saltwater and sun-yet removes cleanly with zero residue when you're ready for a permanent repair. The result is a smarter, tougher, instant surfboard repair built for real conditions.

Traditional surfboard repair kits rely on epoxy resin or fiberglass to permanently fix damage. While effective, they require:

  • Dry conditions
  • Mixing resin
  • Sanding fiberglass
  • Waiting hours (or days) for curing

Board Bandages skip all of that.

Instant Application, Zero Downtime

One of the biggest advantages of Board Bandages over epoxy surfboard repair kits is speed.

To apply:

  1. Dry the damaged area
  2. Peel the backing
  3. Stick the Bandage over the ding

That's it.

No tools. No fumes. No waiting. You can fix a surfboard ding in minutes and paddle out the same session. This makes Board Bandages ideal for:

  • Emergency surf ding repair
  • Traveling surfers
  • Crowded summer surf sessions
  • Keeping a backup surfboard repair kit in your car or board bag

Waterproof, UV-Resistant, and Built for the Ocean

Board Bandages aren't just stickers.

The multilayer, surf specific vinyl is engineered to:

  • Repel water and prevent water intrusion
  • Resist harmful UV rays from long days in the sun
  • Stand up to continuous salt water exposure

This makes them effective for:

  • Rail dings
  • Punctures
  • Pressure cracks
  • Bottom-of-the-board damage
  • Both fiberglass surfboard repair and epoxy surfboard repair

Waxable Surface for Under-Foot Dings

Unlike duct tape, stickers, or makeshift fixes, Board Bandages accept wax due to our proprietary textured top sheet. This is critical for under-foot surfboard dings, where traction matters.

You don't have to avoid a section of your board or deal with slipping mid-turn. Wax goes on normally, stays put, and feels natural underfoot-something traditional DIY surfboard repair methods don't offer without sanding and refinishing.

Strong Hold, Clean Removal

A common problem with temporary surfboard fixes is residue. Duct tape leaves glue. Stickers peel and fail. Cheap patches fall off mid-session.

Board Bandages are designed to:

  • Stay put in the water
  • Handle real surf conditions
  • Remove cleanly with zero residue when you're ready for a permanent fix

That means no extra prep work later and no damage to your board's finish.

Better Than Duct Tape, Stickers, and "Quick Fix" Hacks

Let's be honest-most so-called surfboard fix kits fail the moment saltwater hits them. Board Bandages are:

  • Waterproof
  • Durable
  • Waxable
  • UV resistant
  • Made in the USA
  • Recyclable

They outlast duct tape, outperform stickers, and save you time compared to traditional surfboard ding repair kits.

The Bottom Line: Modern Surfboard Repair

Board Bandages are designed to keep you surfing when downtime isn't an option. Whether you're dealing with a dinged surfboard, a fresh crack, or a last-minute emergency, they're the fastest and easiest way to repair a surfboard ding without tools or hassle.

Stick it. Wax it. Surf it.

That's modern surfboard repair-no resin required 🤙
