Hi there,
I am learning hydrofoiling so it was a matter of time that my arness hook made some damage to the board deck.
Here's a picture of the small dent (there's is one more). This Gong board is supposed to be made of epoxy
.
What do you suggest?
Thanks in advance

I would sand it, tape out the perimeter, and then just use some two-part epoxy.

I would suggest not to worry
Have so many dents on epoxy boards, no issues.
If u send and fill it will look worse.

Put some layers of Alu tape over it. First a small patch that covers the damage only, then a bit larger and last patch even larger.
It will last for years. Not duct tape but pure aluminium.
When you have offseason you can do a more professional repair if You think it's neccesary.
