After every surf session, rinse your surfboard with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris that can degrade its materials over time.

Protect your board from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage, which can cause yellowing and weaken the fiberglass.

Store and transport your surfboard in a padded bag to safeguard it from dings, scratches, and sun damage.

Check your board after each use for cracks, dents, or signs of wear to address issues before they worsen.

Fix any damage promptly to prevent water from seeping in and causing further deterioration or delamination.

Store your board horizontally on a rack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid warping or additional damage.

Periodically remove old wax and apply a fresh layer suitable for the water temperature to maintain optimal grip.

Keep your surfboard away from excessive heat or cold, as extreme temperatures can cause the air core to expand or contract, leading to damage.

Regularly inspect and tighten fin screws, and ensure fins are free of cracks or chips to maintain performance and safety.

Be mindful when carrying and transporting your board to avoid accidental impacts that could cause dings or scratches.

Only stand on your surfboard when it's in the water to prevent pressure dings or cracks from hard surfaces.

Store your board away from chemicals like gasoline or solvents that can deteriorate its materials, and clean it with appropriate products.
