I’ve seen this number way too many times. It either occurs before or shortly after a surfing session. The perpetrator is so excited to be doing the same sport as Mr. Kelly Slater that he fails to acknowledge the gale-force winds a’brewin’. Long story short, the board is either temporarily stored leaning against a wall, or gently placed on the roof, racks, or trunk of a car and then it happens…the wind sexually violates the surfboard. The wind picks up the neglected stick only to quickly set it back down on abrasive gravel or asphalt over and over again. I hate seeing boards dinged this way. So newbies listen up: treat your boards like you would your ladies (or fellas)…with respect, dignity, and love…and offer them a windbreaker every once in awhile.
