That's why after I started and got more intermediate skills,I bought two good boards,one used but excellent condition and one brand new pyzel,the used I use at places with tons of rocks and just very choppy water and my pyzel for big deeper surf
Great tips! Glad I'm not the only one who sucks the water out of dings - now I can say it was your idea! (LOL) Fun noodle is a great tip for the rack too (below). Watch the strap buckles too. You guys are the best! Plan to get down there - maybe in the spring.
Dont know if you just had a blonde moment or forgot haha but it is a good idea to wash your board after a surf and dry it with a towel. The last thing you want is having salt water dry on your board and leave it
Even after rising after a surf, surprisingly after about 6 months I cleaned my board with an automotive "bug and tar" remover (safe for surfboards) and a very faint brown film of gunk came off. Possibly some sort of water pollution from grease or oil which I guess came from a major port for container ships nearby. Looked like new after cleaning!!!
What do you do about pressure dings? I have to strap my board to my car to drive from my home to the beach 3 to 4 hours away. The straps have to be wrenched down tight so it doesn't make the buzzing sound the whole way. I use Kanulock straps so that I can also keep my board locked on my car if I step away to get a bite to eat after surfing.. They're padded cable straps but you can see where the cable's pressure is making indents where it was laying. What could I do?
I'm about t buy a surfboard, but i'll use it mainly during summer, bc where I leave there's no beach. It is a cold place(Asturias-Spain) and I don't think I will use it much during winter. What do you recommend me to keep it nice and not too cold or too hot?
Haber si eres de Asturias deberias surfear en Temporada (Otoño) da igual del frio. Yo vivo en Valencia y surfeo todo el año, ya me gustaria estar en Asturias. ( I hope that you speak Spanish)
If you're beginning I would recommend something like a wavestorm, or any foam board above 6'0. If you are looking to start to use a hardboard start with a fish or a hybrid fish. Then, if you are getting to the point where you're out growing the fish, you can then move onto a short board.
I was breaking everyone of these "rules" except for leaving in the car because i was aware of that... Is leaving it in a board bag on top of a car just as bad?
If I have a ding that is a shallow "dent" but has not punctured the glass/resin, do I need to have it repaired? Also, where in Florida are you from I live in Fort lauderdale
I don't surf but I was watching a movie and this girl was putting wax on her board why and how do you take wax off like this guy was talking about I don't know much about surfing but I was watching soul surfer the true story about Bethany Hamilton

Hmmm. Ima do that.
Make a video on what to eat before surfing
Food

banana
I guess it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Joe Gunner i would suggest Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

@@KevinHallSurfing bro I never understand what your saying please explain better
@@foxgd88 I have edited the comment. I currently use a local Australian brand called 'Diggers Wax And Grease Remover' Hope this helps.
Question: Is washing off the salt water important?
Thanks for the info

how to choose a board?
If you're beginning I would recommend something like a wavestorm, or any foam board above 6'0. If you are looking to start to use a hardboard start with a fish or a hybrid fish. Then, if you are getting to the point where you're out growing the fish, you can then move onto a short board.

Aaron Stranathan yes it wil just be like a microwave
Epoxys go yellow easier I heard rubbing a UV polish keeps them white and the UV off
Don't land on rocks when surfing reefs or point break. nuff said.
If I have a ding that is a shallow "dent" but has not punctured the glass/resin, do I need to have it repaired? Also, where in Florida are you from I live in Fort lauderdale
You don't need to repair dents. Open dings, yes.
Maybe a bit late, but try Bird Boards in Deerfield for repairs. Talk to Todd.
Few hundred degrees inside a car? This video is filmed on Mercury.
Will surf racks & car racks cause pressure dings?
Great thanks!
you came here nice im a fan@@surfcoaches
No. The strap pressure isn't enough to damage board if you secure them properly.
I don't surf but I was watching a movie and this girl was putting wax on her board why and how do you take wax off like this guy was talking about I don't know much about surfing but I was watching soul surfer the true story about Bethany Hamilton
Use a hair dryer to make it soft. Take a wax comb and scrape off dirty wax. Clean deck off with The Pickle or similar product.
Can I put it under my bed please answer
No bro thats forbidden in surf culture, brings you 5 years of bad surfing
