Thanks @JayReale for posting this!!! Not sure if you read these messages, but it's worth a shot! I met you at T-street in the mid 90-'s when I was 13 years old. My friends all had the Mike Stewart boards (black and yellow) but I rode a Jay Reale Mach 7-SS (red deck with thumbrails). You saw my board and paddled over to say hi and chat with us. I was in shock and super awkward, but you were super friendly. While it was a passing moment in your life, it was a really big deal to me and I memory I haven't forgotten! Crazy that 30 years later I see your video while repairing my kid's bodyboard so we can get back in the water together! Wishing you the best!!!

Personally I would use 100 silicone for the bottom, the setup time is about 24hours and it's self leveling. The second thing is that not all glue sticks are created equal, some have the ability to have a better holding power than others for various surfaces.

Thank you for sharing! You just saved me some $$$. I was going to buy glue or a new board. I can just use the hot glue gun and sticks I already have!

I'm 6'3 between 190 & 200lbs, I've been riding 43's most of my adult life but wondering if I could go smaller. I could get away with 42.5 but do you think I could go smaller or stick with 43's? Thanks

Wait for the Tribe Hunter HV 43". It's a 60mm thick board, so will float you well. Coming in about a month. If you're in a pinch, then a wider 43" or 43.5" is a better call.

I’m 6’4” and I run 43, 43.5 and 44. All depends on the day or type of wave…. For hollow have you can go smaller…. For big day if the wave not hollow I can go 43.5 or 44. If small I’ll go 44”

It's a hot glue gun. Very common tool. You can buy one at any Walmart, Target, hardware store, etc.

I have an old 90s Mach 7SS that the original owner put a leash in way up at the nose. rode it this way for many years but I got a new leash recently so it's time to fix the placement... I figure hot glue would work for that too? The hole goes all the way through but it's in the angled section so I can't just put a leash plug in it.

Yes, hot glue would be fine for this hole.

Hello Jay, today I broke my bodyboard at the storm. It broke in half in the middle. My bodyboard didn't have a stringer. I want to fix it with epoxy and put a homemade stringer from an old fishing rod into it. Do you think it's worth it? Bodyboards are not sold in my country.

What country are you in? We ship everywhere! Sounds like you have a cheaper EPS core board. I suppose it doesn't hurt to try to fix your board, but ultimately, if the board is too stiff, it won't ride properly, and epoxy resin will make it too stiff I think.

@@JayReale Yes you are right, It was cheap eps core board. I am from Russia, unfortunately I am not sure that I have the opportunity to buy a bodyboard from abroad now due to the bad situation in the world. Do you accept payments in cryptocurrency? Is it possible to send goods to Russia?

Not necessarily. Depends how big the bubble is. You can repair a bubble by slitting it open, squirting glue inside, and pressing back down, but you have to make sure it's dry inside.

I have a table that bent. the tail and the front touch the water. He lost the rocker, it is flat but the nose bends in the water. How can i fix this? I am afraid of using heat and that bubbles will come out or it will come off. I don't know if it has a string.
