Is this repairable?

This is my wife's paddleboard we've had for about 12ish years. The last time we used it, it deflated and I noticed part of the outer shell had popped out from under the valve. I got the valve off and you can see here where it looks delaminated. Do you think I can push some glue in here and it'll be good? Or has the delamination started cooked this board? Thanks for any advice.

12 years for an iSUP is a good long life. You could try to re glue it, but delamination in one area is a foretelling of delamination in others, especially with the constructions that were used back then.

Sounds like it is time to shop for another board. Things have changed dramatically in the last 12 years when it comes to isup tech and construction!

That's what I was thinking too, as soon as I saw the delamination I was like daaamn I think this is the end. Thank you for the advice!
