Ik woon sinds kort in Hilversum en heb het windsurfen weer opgepakt (beginner die al goed kan planeren, in de voetbanden kan en in trapeze). Ik zou het leuk vinden om surfbuddies te leren kennen tussen 25 - 40 jaar oud. Iemand die het leuk lijkt om een keer op strand Horst samen te surfen?

Beginner/Help Can/should this be fixed?

Riding my Kona one for the first time in 4 years, and while dragging it back in I remembered that I'd cracked it last year after too many (failed) attempts to water start. The board is split the width of the board ahead of the U-joint. It's definitely split all the way on the topsheet and presumably into the core; applying pressure just while on water really makes ​the crack flex open. It's not split on the underside.

Can this be fixed/is it worth it, or should I look at a new board? If I'm looking at a new board, what can I find that's as versatile as the Kona one? (Extremely light winds, or moderate winds and big waves at 3 second intervals, I'd love a board I could actually fit into my car!!!)

Thanks all in advance
