What should I know about surfboard maintenance?

Maintaining your surfboard is crucial for its longevity. Regularly rinse it with fresh water after each use to remove salt and sand, which can cause damage over time. • Check for any dings or cracks; if you find any, it's best to get them repaired promptly to avoid water damage. • You might also want to store your board in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent warping or discoloration.
