You may have spent good money on your board, whether it is a shortboard for those powerful days in Sopelana or a longboard for smooth, relaxed riding, but if you do not look after it, it will end up in terrible shape. Here is how to make your board last longer and surf better.<\/p>\n<h2>Protection out of the water<\/h2>\n<p>First things first: protect it when you are not surfing. It sounds obvious, but you would not believe how many boards we see damaged by things that could easily be avoided.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use a board bag:<\/strong> Always better to have a bag for your board. It protects against knocks and prevents sun damage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid extreme heat:<\/strong> Do not leave your board in the car \u2014 the heat can cause warping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store it properly:<\/strong> Put it on a rack or leaning against the wall, always taking care it does not fall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>After a session<\/h2>\n<h3>Look after your board when you come out of the water<\/h3>\n<p>When you come out of the water, a few basic steps are essential for the life of your board.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rinse with fresh water:<\/strong> Salt can damage the materials, so a good rinse is key.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry it properly:<\/strong> Do not store it wet inside the bag, as this can cause mould and weaken the fibres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Inspection and repair<\/h2>\n<h3>Check regularly and act fast<\/h3>\n<p>A board in good condition is one you check frequently. Spotting damage early is crucial.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Look for dings:<\/strong> Small knocks can let water in. If you spot one, act quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use the right products:<\/strong> For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escueladesurfsopelana.com\/en\/surfboard-repair\/\">quick repairs<\/a>, products like Solarez are ideal. For bigger damage, take it to a professional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"138685\" class=\"elementor elementor-138685 elementor-137532\"
