June's limited waves = board maintenance

Although the waves are pretty flat, the ocean and sky have been amazing lately. These are the days that you can prepare yourself and your equipment for the next epic swell.  Your equipment is very important for your success in the water. Making sure your board is not in disrepair will ensure a long surfboard life and make catching waves easier. Cleaning the bottom of your board and inspecting the leash and connection between board and leash, could save you a big swim and your board a bumpy ride to the beach. —Burton Balkind
