Zepher repair
Im a new person here but thought I'd give this board a try. My paddling buddy and I have Zephers and his is in need of some repair. The stern has gotton pretty soft after about a year of Oregon paddling. The rest of the boat is fine. but we can't get anything to stick to the boat for repairs. The area is about 1 & 1/2 sq feet that needs to be repaired. No cracks but just spongy. Shipping the boat to back Esquif is very expensive. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Have you emailed Jacque
Learning to repair will be a process from all I have read about the material. I would email Jacque and let him know what has happened to see options. Also- I talked to Howard at NOC. They had put a patch on the inside on some of the first ones that had a tiny leak. Your area is so large I doubt that would work. Out of couriosity are there any leaks in the soft areas?
Jacques,
Any chance you could get a rep on the bboard to outline how esquif does repairs? There's a lot of banter across this board about this... I'm looking at buying my second esquif, had a nitro, looking at the zephyr
Thanks for keeping it alive.

I emailled Chad as per Jacques reccommendation , but he had no idea how to perform a repair on one of these boats. Im chatting on some other forums closer to home but nothing so far. Chad wanted some pics as well . Its just a soft spot in the stern from lots of hard boating. No fault of the boat. A pic would be of a sctatched up stern . Im originally form Va. and got the boat from a creeker there before I moved to Or. Thanks for letting me post here. If i come up with any solution, Ill get back to here and post it.

zephyr repair
Hi all
I hear there is a cheap, easy way to do repairs. Now we'll just have to be patient as Esquif adapts it to home use so we don't have to ship our boats anywhere. I wouldn't blame a rep for not being up on the latest stuff related to this boat. things change fast on the cutting edge.
