How do I repair my fibreglass poles?

Each pole is constructed from fibreglass sections and internal shock cord, which runs through each section and is knotted at either end. The easiest and safest method would be to ask a member of the O.R. team whether we have any spare poles for your particular model or fill out our Spares Request Form. To repair the poles, simply cut the knot off on one end of the elastic, compare the length of the old pole to the new pole and cut the new pole to size (we recommend using a hacksaw), sand the top of the pole to remove any splinters, then sand the edges to a cone shape until smooth, thread the elastic through the two poles, knot it and voila! We recommend watching a more detailed guide for this on YouTube, which there is an abundance of!
