Besides the common repairs we get here at Cusfab, like this drive well crack that’s hiding under a DIY repair…
Us kayakers are more concerned of dropping our kayaks, here’s why😭

We remain the only kayak repair business that takes on this specialized type of repair—and we’re proud to be making a difference by saving kayaks that would otherwise end up discarded.

At a time when buying new isn’t always an option for everyone, our work offers a sustainable and affordable alternative. We’ve become an essential part of the paddling community, helping extend the life of kayaks and supporting those who love being on the water.
Don’t hesitate to chat with us if you need your floaty repaired.

A little mid repair vid on the tandem oasis cam-lock crack.
The most crucial part of the repair is lining up the platforms so the peddle drive slots back in perfectly, like it never happened😬

How good are we at this “magic” thing😂

When I started this little cracker business that I love, I never knew how much ‘arm in hatch’ work I would do😂
Thankfully I’ve been made with long arms, getting a bolt back on the rear handle of this outback will show up a few bruises but we have yet another happy customer.

13 years ago I drilled my first hole into a kayak for the fish finder cords, i was so nervous!
Needless to say those nerves are gone!
10,000 holes later they somehow get bigger😂
Old style cam lock cracked at the end, inside the hull. Not the first time we have done this repair and it’s always an item on top of the inspection list.

The old cam lock cracks hey…

This type of crack is one of two major repairs we do for kayaks and is generally only found with our thorough inspections.
Our mobile service team had a call out to repair a side wall crack and found the cam lock insert was cracked on the inside of the hull.
The repair itself is tricky but it also has critical dimensions to ensure the drive can be inserted after the repair.
With the heat needed to weld this area we do compensate with tack welds and double check multiple times prior to the final weld and leak test.
Happy customer getting straight back on the water.

This little side crack was supposed to be the only repair it needed😭
I’ll post again soon with what we found in the inspection..

22/01/2025

Well we found the repair to be a little DIY mixed with an old YouTube repair😂
Stainless steel mesh melted into the plastic then covered with liquid rubber🤷🏼‍♂️
We’ve had both DIYs but not together so it was unexpected to find the mesh under the rubber layer!
Stay tuned for the results👌🏻👌🏻

What are we going to find under that😮
Can you guess how someone repaired this?

First big job for the year but not the first time we have seen this type of repair come from under the track mounts of a feelfree kayak.
One thing is for certain once they start cracking, the crack spreads very quickly.
With a two pass weld, it’s back, stronger then ever and ready to get back on the water💪🏻
