I neglected to pull my wife's paddle board off the kayak rack last fall it blew off in a big wind and was damaged. Would appreciate opinions on proper repair. It is on the underside of the board so nobody will be standing on it.

like any other fiberglass boat repair. however to keep the wood look and stripe will be a bit of a challenge.

cut out the bad bits along the broken edges

grind the top of the fiberglass to bevel

use a 4# flotation foam to fill the dent where the crushed foam is

put the pieces you cut out back in place

2 layers of cloth

As Scott said easy enough to do, I repaired one with using stuff-it and epoxy resin and cloth. Someone leaned the board over a running trucks exhaust pipe so it melted a round hole partly thru
