How old & How many Dings has your long board got?

[Johno]

Av had me long board for 6 months a 9' Polyester and I have 7 dings it it! 6 done on land and 1 in the water

How many has yours got???? and how old is ya board

[themathteacher]

Depends, how long you been surfing? I was preety rough on my first boards, I wasn't used to carrying them, would drop them, bang them...

Like suring, you get better at caring for you boards. My oldest is 5yrs old, has about 4 dings and the usual deck pressure dings that hide under the wax, the rest are newer and in better shape, except for the one beater I own that I use as a loaner.

Board dings ! Hahahahahahaha

I have a gazillion dings in my board !

I know where nearly everyone came from !

Some for my knees, some from the freaking pebbles on a shorey closeout, some from the car park, some from the roof rack and some from just being a dullard !.

(Oh, and a couple from head shots while trying rad stuff off big lips !).

My board, having only just managed to strap the tail down, even cut through a mates car roof when the wind flipped the ‘board around the roof rack and the fin cut the metal !
Fin dings too !

Excellent topic - hahahaha !

While not a longboard, my 6'3" was bought second hand with nearly no glass covering the foam on the tail, a section missing on the nose, and a few cracks on the side. Fixed it up and managed to crease it three times before finally snapping it on a duck dive of all things. It was a year and a half old

My 7'4" met the pier three times. First time a few scratches, second I managed to bash out a chunk on the side of the board, and third I punctured a hole next to the one fin. I sold it and is still intact as far as I know and going on four years old. It was pulled through my backside while I had it and Ive dropped it too many times to care. I have knocked it on walls, rocks, and cars. It was a true "never say die" board

when the cable guy came to install the line in my apartment he went into the attic. he pulled down a bunch of junk, including a beat up banged up old board that must have been sitting in there for 5+ years. My former roommate, who lived there before me was a giant woman, so I know it wasn't hers. But it was cracked, dinged and gouged almost everywhere. The best part was, it had snapped in half and someone sealed it back together, did a pretty terrible job too. I just left it out by the dumpster.


true story...

Number 8! done at weekend as i was geting out when the shore break smashed the nose into the pebles!!!! ar ar

[Pendergast]

my first board has A LOT! the ones that i have not fixed are in 3 spots

the usual deck pressure
a crack on the rail when it somehow rolled out from under my feet and i landed on it with my rear
and the last is a dent from my forehead haha

Number 9 done early on saterday morning - went to poop up some how the board twisted and ended up smashing me on the head i heard a crunch and thought O deer hope that was not my skul! another crack on the rail with some hair stuck in it sort of made me lafe in a way!

[Johno]

Number 10 carrying it down the staires at work were it was drying out from ding No 9 and caught the front rail on the staires.

Got a full width indent crease across the bottom scoping round a drop in from their out of control nose. Got hit in exactly the right spot eskimo rolling under the very next wave.
BTW Na papa have gone broke in Australia don't know about the rest of the world, they were not too bad for Chinese stuff.

The distributor was a mate so I now have a blue one for the light weight days.

You're just copying me or maybe you are writing under a Chinese nom der plume or you are depressed about the Sinophobic comment on surfboards made in China.
