Looks like a grind job then repair
I reckon there are 3 ways you could tackle this. Firstly, keep the board off the water and if it had gotten wet with that crack, dry it out as best as you can. Stick a piece of paper towel into the air vent (only if not goretex) and leave it in a warm area with a breeze.
1. As above, proper DIY method is to grind, then fill, then smooth using fiberglass and epoxy (NOT polyester that comes in fiberglass repair kits!). Not easy to do properly, but a worthwhile skill to learn.
2. Send to a professional to do the above plus some paint (resonably priced at under $200?)
3. Sand around the area with 60 grit, then use Selley's Knead It ($15 at Bunnings or any surf shop). Uglier, but works fine for a long time.
