Heat causing board to break?
 
Anyone have any knowledge if there is a correlation with storing your board in a hot environment, like the bed of my truck under a lockable cover, will weaken the board? I'm getting an average life of about 6-8 weeks out of a board. They all have been LF Harley 143, snaps in the same place every time.

I've seen them delam from being stored in a car. snapping them is a different story obviously, but makes sense

Are you using the same bindings every time? I remember some Ronix bindings ended up putting a lot of stress on the board and cause quite a few to break in the same place. That plus a lot of heat/drying out might make the board weaker

I've had LF bindings on each board, Watson's. I love the board, but this is getting a little annoying. I do give my board a lot of abuse; big wake, rough landings into the flats at times, and 190 lbs coming down on it is likely leading to failure as well.
