Paid 190 for a bunch of rail dings and a nasty tail ding. The time to repair and pick up wasn't bad at all, and I think the price was appropriate. However, the quality of the work on my board was very disappointing... I appreciate that they paint-match their repairs but the blue overspray was very obviously on my yellow deck. Cosmetically, this was the only issue but what really bothered me was the structural issues. After the first couple of times taking the board out, cracks started to show up in the areas that were repaired. I wouldn't think much of it if this was an issue with the board being old but only where the dings on the rails were, identifiable by the new paint, the board was brittle and crumbling :( Because of this, I took it upon myself to learn how to do my own repairs. I'm not saying to not support these guys, but definitely get familiar with the repair process and make sure you're getting quality work. I probably won't end up dropping my board off at ANY repair shop anymore but for what's it worth, service was good and the repair was quick. read more

Brought a board here a few years ago that no one wanted to fix. They fixed it for a good price and I still have the board. Recently damaged a longboard and brought it here, the guys did a great job and really good price. Also comes with warranty for 30 days. They also have a punch card. The guys here are really friendly and efficient. read more

DingDocs Surfboard Repair - Surf Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I found this business online and decided to try it out since they were not all the way in town. They have a website which is really informative because they provide photo examples of dings with the estimated costs. They also show their pricing for a 24 hr or 72 hr repair cost in case you desperately need your board back for travel or for the next incoming swell. For me I found the pricing reasonable, no complaints. Workmanship, awesome and as part of the repair they color match as best as they can. Shout out to Caleb for helping me out when I brought in my Log for repair. Check out their website. One caveat they're tucked back in there on Alahao Pl, just off Nimitz Hwy and parking is tight but manageable. I had with a longboard sticking out the back of a Toyota and it was easy to maneuver. read more

Took 8 days to repair 2 boards, highest quality repair I've ever had. The color matching is very good. Prices were the same compared to the rest, I paid: Fin box repair $95 2 major rail dings $125 4 little minor ones $20 each read more

DingDocs Surfboard Repair - Before - Surf Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Highly recommend this shop. Best prices I could find in town, and repairs include color matching. Took a board that I was afraid to fix myself (large 6"+ ding taken out of the nose), and they shaped the nose back to normal. Color matching wasn't perfect; but still done really well. This shop is super popular, and wait times are 7-10 business days. On the day I went, the owner mentioned he had 75+ boards waiting for repairs. Will bring all my boards here to repair in the future. read more

Fast and great workmanship. The included color match was a bonus! Price was good too. Have recommended it to a bunch of my buddies already! read more

Great experience! 2 fin gashes on rail of my HI mid 6. Took board to DingDocs, gave me a reasonable quote, told me it would take 7-10 days. Finished in 7 days - excellent work. A little hard to find - located on Mauka side of 2298 Alahao warehouse bldg. See before & after pics. read more

I bought board from here a couple years ago. It was nicely repaired and discounted because of the repair. This time it was my board that hit the reef due to the drop-in surfer to my left (surfing etiquette 101 don't drop in on people already on the wave). Anyway instead of running into the bonehead I had to bail and board went straight, nose dived into reef. I called these guys up and my day was instantly better. He did an assessment, told me easy repair and needed about a week. Called me back around 5 days and told me it was ready. I went back, board looks great! Happy to know these guys! They're not gouging for repairs. They also do a great job and are friendly to talk to. read more

DingDocs Surfboard Repair - Can barely tell it has been repaired. Thank you - Surf Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Earlier on, I was looking for a surfboard ding repair shop that was convenient and fast. Yes, I could do repairs myself and I have, but I just get tired of driving to the hardware store for missing sandpaper or having dried out resin and also getting blisters on my thumb. I had an old Firewire Timbertek Almond Butter board that I loved and wanted to get it repaired so I found DingDocs to repair the epoxy resin. - They are professional, fast and extremely reasonable. - This latest repair took them only a week. There was some rail touch ups they did too. They texted me on my cell when it was ready for P/U. - Staff is super friendly. - TIP: Take off your removable items - leash, fins, camera, etc. - Payment: They take plastic: Debt / Credit Card. Also emailed me the receipt. - A bit hard to find, but once you go there it's pretty convenient. - PARKING: Right in the front. Never a problem for me. Now this board (Firewire Cymatic) ++ BEFORE shot is a ding an !d!0+ did dipping right underneath me and poked the tip of his board into the logo of my board. +++ AFTER shot is they quality of work these guys do. I thought they would have to trash the puncture part of the wording, but they saved that piece and blended it into the finish. Channels are smooth and shaped as new. Gave them a tip. read more

My SUP was knocked over by the wind and landed right where a tie down was. It pushed the tie down and cracked the surrounding area. I took it and they did a great job. While they didn't have an exact match for the stock tie down, they offered me a similar one that worked. I'm very satisfied with their work and would use them again. read more

When my son dinged his new surfboard, I checked Yelp and DingDocs had stellar reviews. So we brought his board to them, and now I know why. Great communication, straightforward pricing quote, quick turnaround time (faster than the 7 days quoted) and great work! Thanks guys! read more

Took my boyfriend's 15-year-old longboard (passed down from his grandpa) in for some long overdue, much needed touch ups as a Valentine's gift. Long story short...board came out CHERRY. At a very good price (not going to break the bank here) and small amount of time, your board will get all the TLC it needs! Definitely recommending DingDocs to all my 'ohana and friends! Mahalo nui, JT and Ryley, for your hard work and aloha! Valentine's was a success! read more

DingDocs Surfboard Repair - Surf Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ran over an old mooring pole out in Heeia small boat harbor at low tide. Ended up with a hole a little larger than a quarter. I was able to text JT at DingDocs and received a quote within the next few hours. His shop is conveniently located right off Sand Island Access Road. He had lots of surfboards in his shop. Because my board is a larger 10'6" SUP, he got the job done really quick as he needed the space freed up in his shop. JT is awesome and really easy to communicate with. He will accept payment by Venmo, too. read more

Gene from Used Surf Boards recommended this place to me. Unfortunately, I only ended up here because I forgot to ask for the single-fin screw from Used Surf the day before. Came back on Monday and they were closed. I went to DingDocs out of desperation that they sell me a screw, and they were so nice that they gave it to me for free. If Mr. DingDocs is reading this, please know that your aloha has secured me as a loyal customer and I will go to you guys for all my future board repair needs. read more

J.T. is at the top of his craft. I needed 2 Fin Boxes replaced on my mini-tank 7'6' Island Classic. What a beautiful Job he did ! He changed out the DFS boxes and updated with FCS Boxes and 3 New fins. He gave me a Super Killer Price (a Brahdah, Brahdah deal) for the work he did. My board is like Brand-New again. Time to Go Surf ! Mahalo JT! read more

Another surfboard crashed into my daughter's board during a surf session. JT repaired the damage and took care of additional areas throughout the board. He filled in a large old pressure ding on the bottom of the board, and even fixed a spot near one of the FCS boxes. Picked up in time to ride it over the weekend, and she even got a DingDocs face mask. Big Mahalo JT! read more

Took my brand new longboard in after it flew off the roof of my car due to a gust of wind. The entire front corner of the rail was shattered and there were scratches all the way down the board. They were able to make the marks completely disappear and make it unnoticeable unless you knew they were there to begin with. read more

I broke my 10' 0" in half. Newer board and only had one other ding. After the repairs at Ding Docs it handles just like new! Killer repair job, very professional, and did great color match. For such a drastic repair I don't notice any extra weight. I recommend them for any and all board repairs you need! read more

Recently brought in my foil board after a surfer ran over me, causing one of his fins to slice into the nose of my board. My board has a full carbon wrap so the job was more difficult than normal. DingDocs quickly assessed the problem, quoted me an accurate price, and fixed my board ahead of schedule. And the work was so well done that it looks and feels almost brand new. Very impressed and will be back for all of my repair needs. read more

SPOT-ON! GOOD ViBES! It is definitely worth driving to and from DingDocs. It's super easy to communicate with them by text and Daley is just such a good listener. They did an excellent job repairing the tail on my epoxy SUP with almost-perfect color-match. My board looks brand new again. I am a 100% satisfied customer! read more

I've been meaning to post a review but have been a bit busy. I had brought in a board to have some FCSII plugs installed into my single fin. I know. "Blasphemy" right. I wouldn't ride the single fin anymore and felt I needed to do something to keep the board. JT did an unbelievable job. The finish didn't even disturb the color. Mahalos JT. Hope to see you and your people in the water. read more

Great and honest service. I took my SUP board in to repair some damage that was there when I bought the board. JT was fair on pricing. He told me that he was going to be out of town for the Thanksgiving Holiday's, so there would be a little delay. Got the board back and it was awesome. JT repaired the damage and repainted the board. Very professional. I highly recommend this shop. read more

I had a decent size gouge right by the nose of my stand up paddle board. It was large enough to stick a finger through. I looked briefly through yelp and found this little surfboard repair shop.

Excellent work fixing my Thunderbolt longboard. Great service. Much better than some other spots in town...

Good service, fair pricing, quick turnaround and excellent repairs! I totally recommend them. Really friendly too.

I just wanted to thank JT for my board repair. One of my friends ran into me, leaving a 3" gash on the rail. JT took the board that afternoon & made the repairs quickly. You can hardly tell there was a ding there, the color match was spot on. This is the second repair that he had done for me & both repairs were excellent. Thanks again. read more

Just had an excellent experience with JT and Riley at DingDocs. JT worked on two of my boards, a SUP and a longboard, that had significant rail and tail damage. Not only did he restore both boards' structural integrity but he also went the extra mile to match the color and pin lines on one of the boards. It is never fun to have your favorite board damaged and in need of a repair, but these guys have great attitudes, they are exactly who you want to work with in that situation. read more
