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?

Thank you for this =) Very informative!

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 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?

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?

how to choose a board?

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

Don't land on rocks when surfing reefs or point break. nuff said.

Jim says:

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.
