HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR BOARD

Boards can cost up to $1,000 so its important to look after them in order to get maximum Board life. Heres a few tips I have picked up over the years:

Storage: Always store in a dry place, and away from direct sunlight. Leaving your board out in the weather can cause your deck to weaken, rusting of metal components etc.

Transporting: When transporting your board in a car or plane make sure it is not rubbing against anything. The Vibrations caused in a car can not only leave wear marks, but can actually weaken the structure of the deck. Check out the MUNRO board bags for a top way to protect your board in transport.

WD-40: wd40 is your best friend. When assembling a new board I spray every bolt and nut with WD40. This stops dirt build up, around the bolts and prevents rusted bolts etc.

After Use: Hose your board down whenever it has dirt or mud on it. I often go to a carwash and use the high pressure hoses and it normally works a treat.

Tighten Bolts: Not only are loose bolts dangerous, but they can also cause the bolt holes to stretch and loose shape, leading to other problems later down the track
