what are the ways your surf board cracks

sharks teeth

cracks their called dents but usually rocks and cracks l guess are just stress cracks but if you have a lot of them l would bring it to you local shop and make sure its water tight yeah and just old board tend to crack when the fiberglass is exposed to the sun for a long period of time

Thats pretty vague, there is a lot of ways & a lot of places. If u mean how, well, anything from rocks to burying the nose in the sand to a shark (unlikely) to hitting it on ur car (yeah, you've all done it, do not lie).

For the type of crack, theres a lot. l guess most common would be a ding, basically just a puncture. Theres pressure dents, or u could just break ur board. You could also crease the nose or tail.

Basically, u want to make sure ur board is watertight. Otherwise, water will leak in & rot the foam (not overnight, but it happens). So if its dinged, get it fixed (unlike pros, who just throw it out & get a new one). As a side note, u know that the Volcom House on the North Shore once held over 300,000$ worth of surfboards? That makes u feel great when going to fix a ding for the third time.

Well, l have cracked my board in half if you want to call that a crack. l was trying to get down the wave from a floater and l under estimated the size of the wave and once l went down l just dropped and landed and the board broke in half. Most of the time though it is just tons of pressure marks that pile up and cause a crack. Shells, coral and rocks are usually good ways of cracking it. Also, do not leave your board out in the sun or your board will crack faster.

The base of my fins on my Thrusters that have glassed-on fins.

there are a lot of different ways. it happen alot when you have big ways and really heavy waves, also when theres rocks or a reef. it happens when people get bad (smash board). some time it will pressor crack if it hits the sand hard.
