• Excessive heat and leaks are the two things to keep an eye out for. 
  • If you ding your board, fix it, dont surf it. Carry epoxy solarez or dingstick and sandpaper to keep you surfing, but remember, leaking shoddy ding repair is a notorious board killer.  Dry out the board completely and do a quality ding repair with epoxy.  Better yet, bring it to me or another professional ding repair shop
  • Do not leave your board in direct hot sunlight for extended lengths of time.  Take a board bag to the beach, throw it under a bush. Keep it out of hot cars.
  • Use a padded board bag, they are well worth the small investment, talk to me at the time of purchase, I can set you up if needed. Unzip the bag when in storage.
  • When a board heats up in the sun it exhales (expands), this is when you will see water or bubbles come out of it, dry and fix.  When a board hits the cold water it inhales (contracts), this is why you dont want any leaks in the fiberglass.
