Damage from a Fallen Tree
This kayak was stored outside and during a wind storm a tree came down on top of the Kayak causing extensive damage to the Deck, Seam and Hull.
Thermoform Repair
The hole in the bottom of this boat was sustained when 2 boats were playing too close together in the surf. The bow of another boat pierced the hull.
Damage from Playing in a Rock Garden
Playing in the rocks along the coastline is a fun pastime for many coastal paddlers. Sometimes there is a price to pay when getting too close though.
Roof Rack Damage
This kayak was secured to a roof rack with 2 straps however the bowline was not secured to the vehicle but it was to the bow. When the owner drove away the unsecured line wrapped around the wheel pulling the bow of the bow don over the roof rack bars making an unimaginable noise!
Pile Drive in the Surf
This was caused when a paddler was caught by a larger wave too close in and the wave stood up fast and steep and as the boat began to be surfed, the bow buried in the water and was pile driven right into the sandy bottom nearly snapping the bow off! While it was here we restored the deck back to a high gloss shine too!

I was encouraged by kayaker friends in the Mountaineers to try surf kayaking, so I purchased an IC surf boat, a Mega Rio Jester, off of Craig’s List. The boat was in pretty good condition but needed gel coat and Sea tape line repairs on the stern and the cockpit combing reattached. My friends recomm...
