About Surfboard Repair Directory
A working directory of the people who actually touch resin and foam — built around one question: who can fix this damage, on this board, and how do we actually know they can?

Most surf-shop directories are lists of businesses. This one is a database that understands surfboard repair specifically -- construction compatibility, service model, turnaround, and capabilities are tracked as real, sourced data, not assumed from a business's category. If we don't have reliable evidence for something, it's shown as unverified, not left blank and not guessed at.
How a record reaches this page
Nothing is published because it was found. Every record moves along this line, and where it stops is exactly what the verification status below reports.
- 01
Raw imported
Discovery data from public sources. Never shown as-is.
- 02
Normalized
Cleaned, deduplicated, and matched against existing records.
- 03
Publicly verified
Checked against the business's own current website or listing.
- 04
Owner-confirmed
The shop itself confirms the detail.
- 05
Published
Shown here, labelled with how far it actually got.
How strong the evidence is
Every business carries one of four levels, shown on its profile page. They are ranked, not interchangeable:
Verified
Directly confirmed by the business itself, or by a current, highly authoritative source.
Owner-claimed
Supplied by the business through a claim or submission, but not yet independently confirmed.
Public source
Supported by a current public source, like the business's own current website.
Unverified
Not enough reliable evidence yet either way -- shown honestly, not guessed at.
Why unknown stays unknown
Below that, individual details -- does this shop repair dings? Do they work on EPS boards? -- are tracked separately and shown as Yes, Not offered, or Unverified on every profile. A business repairing surfboards doesn't automatically mean it repairs every construction or damage type: unknown stays unknown until it's actually confirmed, one way or the other.
Where the data comes from
A mix of a business's own current website and social accounts, public directories, direct outreach to the shop, and businesses claiming or submitting their own listing directly. Each piece of information keeps track of where it came from, so the verification status reflects the actual strength of the evidence behind it.
