Family owned and operated since 2006. Does not quote repairs over the phone -- customers bring the board in for a free in-person inspection, damage assessment, and quote; drop-off available any day during business hours. Standard turnaround is approximately two weeks depending on workload/complexity, with a rush option for an additional fee and same-day repair possible for minor dings when workload allows. Also sells DIY repair supplies (solar-cure resin, epoxy resin, fiberglass cloth, ding repair kits) and offers surfboard/wetsuit rentals and surf lessons/camps as adjacent, non-repair services.
