Cracked Up
I took my waveski out again Saturday. After a little time settling into (or onto) it again, I started getting some good rides. I could feel my balance improving, sometimes to the point where I could actually concentrate on surfing! And my friend who's on the national surf kayak team said as much.
Unfortunately, my session came to an abrupt end. As I was riding along, I got pointed straight down the wave as it peaked up in shallow water. The result? The waveski plunged straight down and bounced nose-first into a sandbar before flipping end-over-end. When I rolled up, I noticed a crack straight across the front-top of the ski. Luckily it didn't snap in half, so it should be repairable, but in the meantime I'll have to be content in regular old kayaks.

Bummer! When fixed will it show the crack?
If they do a good job, it won't, at least not too much. Once the core of it is fixed and reinforced, they should be able to match the gelcoat colors and get it looking almost like new.
gald it can be salvaged!
