When Mike takes a spill on his foil board, it's time for a quick repair using epoxy resin, fiberglass, and a vacuum pump with supplies. Composite repairs, such as this one on this performance foil board, are easily executed using the popular boatbuilding method of vacuum bagging. By encasing the epoxy repair in a breather fabric and then peel ply and the vacuum film, Mike is able to pull the air out of the fiberglass layup and make a strong repair, with the epoxy concentrated where it's needed most, in the fiberglass. Before too long, the fix can be sanded out and spray painted to match the rest of the board, and Mike is flying on the water again in no time.
