Built for Surfers
Who Don't
Want to Wait
PHIX Doctor was created by surfers who refused to let a ding decide whether they surf today.
Our Story
Innovation Born
in the Lineup
PHIX Doctor started in a California garage in 2008. Founder Kyle Bennett had one frustration: ding repair was slow, messy, and expensive. Traditional resins required hours of cure time, toxic catalyst systems, and precise mixing ratios that left no room for error.
After years of research into photoinitiated polymer chemistry, Kyle developed a sun-powered resin that needed only natural sunlight to cure. One minute in the sun and the repair was structurally complete — no mixing, no fumes, no waiting.
What started as a garage experiment became the world's most trusted surfboard repair brand, used in 60+ countries by everyone from beginners to professional shapers. Today, PHIX Doctor continues to push the boundaries with eco-friendly bio-resin formulations and next-generation UV systems.

Simple Process
How Our Products Work
The same 5-step sun-powered repair process — engineered in our lab, tested by pros worldwide.
Sand & Prep the Ding
Clean the damaged area with the included sandpaper. Remove loose fiberglass or foam for a clean bonding surface.
Apply SunPowered Resin
Squeeze the sun-activated resin into the ding. Fill completely, ensuring no air pockets remain.
Cover & Smooth
Lay the fiberglass patch over the repair. Use the squeegee to press firm and eliminate air bubbles.
Cure in 1–3 Minutes
Place the repair in direct sunlight. Watch the resin harden in as little as 60 seconds on a bright day.
Sand Smooth & Ride
Once cured, sand the repair flush. You're done — get back in the water and make the most of your session.

About Our
Brand
Common questions about who PHIX Doctor is and what we stand for.
Sun-powered resin offers dramatically faster curing (1–3 minutes vs 4–12 hours), no toxic catalyst fumes, and zero mixing errors. The resin stays workable until you apply sunlight, giving you full control with no time pressure. Unlike traditional hardener systems, there's no risk of wrong ratios causing soft spots or failed repairs.
