That's a big problem, I think what you are referring to is when the fiberglass de-laminates itself from the foam. The best way to do this is to cut the bubble out and remove the damaged foam.
Let the board sit in the sun to evaporate any moisture that might be trapped in the foam.
Now here is tricky part number one. Using either a surfboard repair kit (from your local surf-shop) or a filler such as bondo, patch the hole you cut in the foam. Be sure to leave an excess of filler material on the top(to sand later. Take care in filling the hole you made, insure there are no air bubbles that are trapped, they will rise to the surface and leave a pit in the filler. I like to use a tongue depressor to, in a sense, pack the hole with filler. Allow to dry until completely hard.
Now its time to sand. You want to get 3 or 4 grits of sand paper varying from coarse to ultra-fine. Sand the filler material until it is level with the rest of the board and go over it repeatedly with different grits of sand paper, starting with coarse and ending with fine.
Tricky step 2. Now that you have sanded the filler until its surface and texture match that of the existing surfboard, its time to glass. In your surfboard repair kit, you should get some fiberglass and a 2 part epoxy resin. cut a piece of surf quality fiberglass to fit over your ding with about 1/4 inch overlapping onto the good glass. Now mix the 2 part epoxy resin and pour it onto your patch of fiberglass. Using a a spreader such as a card or tongue depressor, spread the resin like cake batter over the class. You should start to see the fiberglass disappear. Insure that the fiberglass is thoroughly covered. Allow the resin to cure overnight.
Morning, ahh, birds singing and its time to sand down your surfboard patch. Using the same sanding principal of coarse to fine, sand the resin until it is flush with the rest of the surfboard. When finished, buff it with one of those green dishwashing scratch pads, this will bring the board back to a kinda shiny finish.
Now your ready to wax and shred, just make sure that your patch doesn't take on any water or you'll be doing it over again, only bigger!

Learning about Fiberglass?
Fiberglass repair can be extremely difficult to perform correctly. This is because fiberglass is a weak material and can crack easily under pressure. If you’re driving a car made of fiberglass, you have to be extremely careful because if your car gets hit the big dent can crack and spread throughout the rest of the car. This is the reason why many cars produced today do not have any fiberglass in them thankfully Fixing fiberglass is a long and drawn out process. The recovery process on a dent or crack on a fiberglass automobile begins with a crack being brought together and having fiberglass mold spread across the dent or crack. If the dent or crack is too severe and large it might be better to just buy a new section of fiberglass and install it on your automobile. However, if the crack is not too large, continue to spread the fiberglass mold across the crack or dent carefully. Let the mold sit for a few hours and remember the fiberglass repair is a long process that requires patience, perseverance and skill. If you are not sure you can do this please take your vehicle to reputable and skilled fiberglass automobile repairman. If you make a mistake during the initial phase of the restoration you’ll have to start all over again. This will cost a lot of time and money and you will likely end up frustrated and giving up. So if you are unsure about your abilities as a fiberglass repairman please find someone who can do the correct job. Don’t be upset if you cannot handle the fiberglass repair process. It takes years of practice and lots of money to become proficient at this profession. Fortunately, once the fiberglass is correctly fixed there is nothing to worry about. The good thing about fiberglass is that it is resistant to weather such as rain and sleet or strong winds. The unfortunate thing is, if you get in an automobile accident and receive a crack or dent it will without a doubt spread to the rest of the car. So you need to be aware of that if somebody hits you.
