Broken Tip on Perigee Surf Rod

I let a buddy borrow my Lami PSB 1202M surf rod and his van door ate it. The blank is probably 20 years old but I really liked it. Any chance of finding a replacement tip section?
I'm willing to attempt a repair but I don't see how it would work given it is now in three pieces.

Just spoke with a really nice lady at Lami. As I figured, they don't have replacement parts any more.

Sorry to here that, only thing I have left is a PSB 108 1M one piece in a bare blank. I don't think the GSB blanks today are the same design. Just looked the PSB blank was nowhere near the same blank as the GSB series of the time, or any other time, or blank series. Truly custom blanks like they said they were, fly blanks, etc.

Marty,
Anything is possible but whether it is practical or not is another story. Detailed photos will be required for any suggestions or opinions (hopefully not condolences).

My opinion is you can repair it, but it’ll never fish the same.

It may be possible to remake that whole section. I'd love to take a crack at it.
