I don’t have that kind of indoor option. Maybe I’m glad? I’d probably go if we had one. But I think I might like the seasonality of the sport. In the summer I surf and ride motorcycles. Plus I take delight in working on boards and my winter gear for when the season comes back around. I’m not sure if I’d have the same passion if i could ride year round. Kind of like when Circe offered Odysseus the chance to be immortal and he was like nah, thanks for offering but I think I’ll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like going to a gym and I ride a bike sometimes but only when the sun is shining. So I dicided to go to the fridge 2x a week to work on my carving skills. And I'm glad most of the People don't like to be here so I have the slopes for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how many times you wax your board each season, why are you using cheap wax for this single application of storage? I personally use Dominator Graphite ReNew or Briko-Maplus Race Base Soft/Medium, Those are likely the two best storage/prep waxes. the maplus is actually kinda fast too!

Seems like a lot of extra work to completely remove the bindings. I have 4 or 5 boards but only a couple pair of bindings. So I'm pretty much accustomed to popping my hardware every day. I do worry that I'm not keeping consistent angles. But I haven't had much trouble getting things set up good-enough on the fly. At the root of it all is that I just can't bring myself to buy more bindings. They aren't that fun. And improvements seem few and far between. Hence I drop the money on boards and other things that are more exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darko714 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I just leave the boards leaning against the wall. But when I see other riders storing them on racks, I've always wondered why that would be better. I used to store them down the basement, and the edges did get a few tiny spots of discoloration, but gentle buff with a diamond stone erased that. Now I leave the two I ride regularly in the dining room. I'm also going to loosen the bindings this year -- that seems like a good tip.
