Our very own industry expert Ethan Ebersold, will be at the store to lead our repair clinic. 
Thermoformed kayaks are incredibly durable, but even the toughest boats pick up scratches, gouges, and the occasional serious crack over time. In this hands-on consumer clinic, you’ll learn how to confidently repair and restore thermoformed kayaks from Eddyline, Mocean, Hurricane, and Delta. Whether your boat has cosmetic wear or structural damage, we’ll walk through practical, proven repair techniques step by step. You’ll leave with the skills, tools knowledge, and confidence to keep your kayak looking sharp and performing at its best. You are welcome to bring your kayak so Ethan and the crew can advise on any maintenance or repair needed.


What You’ll Learn:

How thermoformed ABS construction works — and why it repairs differently than rotomolded or composite kayaks

How to properly assess damage (cosmetic vs. structural)

Techniques for removing and repairing surface scratches

How to fill and blend deep gouges for a seamless finish

Plastic welding basics for thermoformed kayaks

Step-by-step repair process for catastrophic cracks
