The front corner edge of my kids' boogie board is starting to peel away. it is some sort of rubbery foam stuff that is peeling away from another layer of rubbery foam stuff. What sort of glue should I use to gummy it up? I was thinking some of that "shoe glue" because it is a bit flexible.

Go to a good surf (oreferably bodyboard shop) in your area and get some stuff called "sponge rez". If you tell me where you're located I'll tell you where your closest booger shop is.

And ya might wanna shorten the leash cord a fraction, cause it looks like that may have been the source of damage?????

sponge rez proved pretty hard to find in Melb CBD, and even down here at Barwon Heads/Ocean Grove. The wife bought some "bodyboard repair" goop by O&E and that seems to have done the job ok.
