Specializing in polyester and epoxy ding restoration, Nick's Surfboard Repair in Point Loma's Midway District handles FCS fin-box replacement, core-foam rebuilds, and structural re-lamination from a Hancock Street workshop. Shapers on the same Hancock Street corridor — including Plus One Surfboards next door — route ding work to the shop, creating a steady intake of both polyurethane and EPS construction types that keeps the repair queue technically varied. Standard repairs start at $30 per surfboard and $50 per SUP or paddleboard, with gloss-and-polish finishing included on jobs exceeding $100. Color-matching and tint work handle cosmetic blending on pigmented boards, though factory-original color reproduction depends on the original resin batch and may carry slight variation. Custom new-board commissions run in parallel with repairs, shaping polyurethane and EPS blanks into shortboards and fish in the same Midway District San Diego production zone where Ben Milano Surfboards operates its shaping program. Structural nose rebuilds — where the foam core is carved out, replaced, and re-laminated with matching cloth weight and resin type — represent the most labor-intensive restoration the shop performs.
