I just got my first board, it's a used Matt More 6'11", I think. don't know if it good or not, but I have one. It has a couple of dings in it and needs some work. So now I need advice on how to patch these dings up. The guy I got it from said bon-doe or something like this, any thing else, anything I should now about fixing it?

you can get those take-home epoxy kits from any surfshop. super easy to use, super reliable. put your board up on sawhorses covered in towels and your set to work. try wetsand.com or surfline.com to get them on the internet.
and honestly, when i get little dings and dont want to fix it immediately, i fill the hole with wax so no more water can get in and put some duct tape over that. works like a charm, but make sure to not let there be creases in the sides because that shit can cut your arm when you paddle.

oh if you go the lazy route (duct tape) make sure you fix it eventually. it wont work forever/you'll look like a kook if your whole board is striped with duct tape. i usually only do it when i'm on the road or in a different country and dont have a ding kit or cant buy one.
