Helping Water-people, Just Like Me!
I am Jolanta, the owner and lead repair-person behind Boards And Heartbreak.
I fell in love with SUP in 2024 and since quickly progressed to high performance boards, pushing myself almost daily in training. I’ve also became a serious equipment geek, and my boards are my prized possessions.
Pushing yourself can result in damages to your gear, and that is exactly what happened to me. I know how important reliable repairs are, for longevity, timeliness and performance. And, for taming the heartbreak that comes with it all…
I now help other paddlers like myself, offering repairs to most composite, thermoformed and inflatable SUPs, your water-wear and most paddles.
Based in North Saanich, BC.
My Process:
Once I receive your equipment in the shop, I will inspect it to diagnose any issue(s);
I will then let you know of estimated repairs, need for parts and timelines for your approval;
If approved, we will proceed with the repairs/ ordering parts (if applicable);
I will ensure the appropriate times to cure any materials, such as adhesives;
Once the repairs are finalized, I will handover the fixed equipment back to you.
For part orders, a deposit will be required prior to ordering.
I use marine and industrial grade materials and supplies, sourced from trusted local suppliers as much as possible.

Don’t let dings and tears slow you down—let’s get you back on the water!
