THE GOLDEN RULES & WARRANTY
THE GOLDEN RULES to owning a surfboard / soft board
Before you start shredding up the surf, there are a few things you should consider ensuring that you're getting the best out of your new B Soft Board. Surfboards are made of light-weight materials and are very fragile – they are made light
– so, they will be fast and easy to turn.
High Temperature Warnings
Softboards of all types, when exposed to high temps or direct sunlight for extended periods of time, can begin to bubble/crease/fade in colour.
Store your board in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight or heat to avoid this.
Do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. Even as little as one hour in Aussie summer conditions can cause irreversible damage.
Heat related damage is NOT covered under warranty.
General Care
After every surf, make sure to rinse your board with fresh water to remove any excess dirt, sand or salt residue.
Wipe down your board with a clean towel & make sure it's stored in a cool, dry location that won't receive direct sunlight.
Avoid Impacts
• Impacts both in and out of the surf may damage your board. Damage caused by impacts are NOT covered under warranty.
• If you run the fins into the sand bank / reef, you can break the fins, and you will need to buy new fins.
• Never throw your surfboard and dive under a wave as your surfboard can break in half! Learn how to ‘Turtle Roll’
• NEVER practice your jump up on your surfboards – you will break your board and or put big dents in your surfboard!
• Practise your ‘Pop-Ups’ on a yoga matt or on the hard sand next to your surfboard.
• It is normal for surfboards to get pressure dents on the deck and sometimes on the bottom.
Transportation
When fastening your board to the roof of your car, avoid strapping it too tight as it can penetrate the slick or crease the rails. Use a board bag as much as possible when mounting it to your vehicle. Do not leave your board in or on top of a hot vehicle for extended periods of time or you risk major heat damage. (Even with a board bag)

Surfboards and Soft Surfboards are made as light as possible, so they are fast, and easy to turn.
* I can make you an un-breakable soft surfboard (expensive) - but it will be very heavy and very slow and won't turn when you try to surf it! They just sink!
