So I picked up this snapped 6.9 Firewire .
My intention was to try to repair it as a project and learning experience, maybe ride it a little if successful, then donate it to sunfollowssurf's ministry.

But I'm kinda busy now making money at what I'm better at, so if there is somebody out there that already knows how to do this cheaply (and certainly better) than I can, I'll consider passing the work on to an expert.

Any advice? How hard is it to repair a snapped epoxy board.?

Everytime I snapped a board I was in a far away land.  So what I did was give it to some kid and tell him he can have it if he can fix it.

If you look on the Firewire website, you'll find Surfguys as a authorized repair facility for all your epoxy repairs. Call me at 321-956-3268 and I'll make it almost as good as new. Check out the surfboard repair page at www.surfguyssurf.com for pic of my work.

Larry Pope always told me " fixing a snapped board was like doing surgery on a mani quin"(sp?)

I've used surfguys several times on prized/magic boards and he's always delivered.
