HI Jake,
It's an epoxy and fiberglass with a epa foam core. Then the outside is
wrapped with a thin sheet of (white) ABS plastic skin. You can use Marine
Tex, or an epoxy repair. West System is good.
It's common for those boards to get dings along the hard rails and they are
usually easy repairs as long as there is not a crack through the fiberglass.
I put clear packaging tape around damaged area to keep repair material off
the board where it is not needed. (easier and faster cleanup, less sanding.
After I put repair material on, I put clear tape over it as well to keep it
in place. It helps form the repair to the contour of the board, especially
on the rails. Again it saves on sanding and clean-up time.
Good Luck
P.s. the newer blue and white Prodigys do not have an ABS plastic skin but
have an epoxy paint instead. Use the same repair materials and same white
paint on both boards.

Subject: [usa_prodigy] Mistral Prodigy Board Repairs
Hey all, I just bought a used Prodigy board. It's one of the older ones with
the red graphics on it. The board has some minor dings along the edges and
in one spot the outer surface is cut down to the core. I was looking for
information on how to repair the board or at least what the construction is.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jake
