Surfboards - Care & Maintenance
Your Surfboard is always exposed to the harmful sun’s rays, saltwater, and different kinds of sea bottoms which, upon collision, can result to dings and scratches. With all these factors, it is essential to give your board the care and attention it deserves. Here are ways to help lengthen the life of your board and to keep it around for as long as possible:
- When the board is not in use, remember to always put it in a board bag. Keeping it covered can help restore their natural color.
- Keep your board in a proper place. Do not just dump it somewhere; instead, have a personal rack for your board to keep it secure. A personal Surfboard Rack that is installed on your wall is a better way to keep it secure and safe.
- Keep your board away from the sun and heat so as not to weaken your board’s fiberglass coating and caused it to be yellowish in color. Store it in a cool, shady place and don't forget to cover your board.
- Repair crack or any minor ding as soon as possible as this may cause problems. Prevent water from entering the inner foam of your board which can cause delamination and added weight to your board that can affect its performance.
- Don't forget to clean and strip off old Surfboard Wax from your board’s deck to check if there are any ding or cracks.
Taking good care of your Surfboard will ensure that it will last longer and will perform well every time you use it. Get the most out of your board. Make sure it is in good condition at all times.
