How do you remove water out of your board also?
I have gotten cracks in the front of my board but managed to suck the water out of it.
How can i be sure that there is no water?
Thanks

What's the story with this one?
I don't think I have ever snapped both arms at the same time.
Is it full carbon as well?

A 34 knot crash with me hanging on. At least the front of the board was in good shape. :)

Don't worry; if it's a normal board, as soon as you buy it the wind will stop blowing for a couple of months.

1. Tighten vent screw before use

2. Set foot straps, everything middle and go from there

3. Fin in the middle

4. Loop it


You want strap screws to be quite tight.
Look at my anti twist tip video a must do to prevent straps from twisting except maybe some starboard boards.

I keep the fuse and wings assembled. I use Tefgel on the bolts and crack each bolt once a month.

I've done it with Starboard, Slingshot, and Phantasm.

All have Aluminum fuses with composite wings.
