For surf travel you want to be traveling light. However if you ding or damage your surfboard it’s still important to do a prompt surf travel board repair. With our Weenie Repair Kit that’s no problem.
If you’ve got a new board for your trip, or a quiver of boards, new and existing, the risk of travel damage is everywhere. It can come in transit. Even the heaviest-duty, safest surfboard cover seems unable to save you from the heavy hands of baggage handlers creating a cracked rail, shattered nose or tail.
Once at your destination out surfing, contact with a reef, rock, another board, a bike fall, even a slip in your sandals, can end up causing a hole, crack, or fin box ding.
If you get damage you could think you could leave it. Wait till you get home to do the repair. Yet any water that you allow to enter will cause damage, and have what could be a long lasting negative effect.
Taking on water your board will get heavier, waterlogged. This will equate to your surfing being more sluggish, less responsive. Damage can further effect the way you surf. For example a crack at the tail can make you alter your popup to avoid it, leading to more wipeouts. A crack on the rail can graze your arms and legs where you sit up. So you’re paddle is less effective.
Travel Cut Short?
If you get a cut from this type of unfixed ding it could end up escalating into something nasty. Causing you to cut your surf travel trip short.
Even the smallest amount of water entry can lead to major board damage. It only takes a little water in your board, and exposure to sun heat, for large areas of fiberglass to bubble right off your foam.
