DingShacks is a directory connecting surfers with trusted local board repair shops and shapers. Built for surfers by surfers who got tired of not knowing who to trust with their dinged boards, especially while traveling. DingShacks gives you a map-based directory specifically for ding repair and shaping, so you can get to someone nearby fast. It also brings visibility for repair shops themselves giving fixers and shapers a way to be found.
Most "find a repair shop" searches just surface generic local business listings with no surf-specific context. DingShacks is built around the actual problem. Imagine you're on a trip, your board is cracked, and you have zero local connections. DingShacks gives you a map-based directory specifically for ding repair and shaping, so you can find someone nearby fast instead of driving hours on an unknown referral or endless Googling.
It also flips the visibility problem for repair shops themselves. Most small shapers and ding-repair folks are incredible craftspeople but they're not marketers and rarely have any online presence. DingShacks gives them a simple way to be found by the surfers who need them, without having to do any marketing themselves.
Core features:
- Map to find shacks near you, wherever you are
- Simple shop registration so repairers can get listed and gain visibility
- Stories celebrating the craft and the people behind it
- Built around respect for the work
The mission: get boards fixed faster, support underpaid local craftspeople who are getting priced out of the coastal towns they work in, and get more people surfing instead of stressing about who can fix their board.
We just want to get in the water as much as we can :)
