Proper care and maintenance not only extend the life of your board but also ensure you get the best performance every time you hit the water.
Rinse After Every Session
Saltwater and sand can damage your board over time. Always rinse your surfboard with fresh water after each session to remove any residue.
Check for Dings and Cracks
Inspect your board regularly for any dings, cracks, or pressure dents. Addressing these issues promptly prevents water from seeping in and causing further damage.
Store Properly
When you're not surfing, store your board in a cool, shaded area. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the fiberglass to delaminate. A board bag is a great investment for added protection.
Wax On, Wax Off
Regularly apply a fresh coat of wax to maintain grip. Remove old, dirty wax before applying a new layer to ensure maximum traction.
Protect the Fins
Your fins play a crucial role in your board's performance. Check them frequently for any signs of damage and tighten the screws as needed. When transporting your board, use fin protectors to avoid any accidental damage.
Leash Care
Inspect your leash for any signs of wear and tear. A damaged leash can snap at the worst possible moment, leaving you and your board vulnerable.
Regular Professional Check-Ups
Every once in a while, take your board to a professional for a thorough check-up and any necessary repairs. It's worth the investment to keep your board in optimal condition.
