Boards vs Sliders

Any advice on protecting your board from slider damage? I know its going to wear but is there anything you can do to slow down the process?

Sorry if this has been posted before.

Get a new slingshot
if that isn't an option ??? not much else you can do.... load up on suncure and epoxy

Don't hit rails.

Seriously though... you'll eventually destroy it. My best advice would be to get a slingshot, roam or other rail specific board. That being said... my 2006 Premier with jib rails has been a TANK and I've yet to break it... its in bad shape with tons of holes and chunks missing... but still kicks it daily. I wouldn't regularly jib my boat board.

yeah, durabase is money. Just be cautious when slayshing concrete, it doesn't always turn out pretty. haha

08 is slimmer and doesnt have jib rails... if you shred alot... you'll be sure to break it. Just bein honest.
