gear maintenance

since i ride in salt-water, the metal all starts to corrode and get oxidized even tho i take the bindings off and wash all the parts of them and the holes in the board, so i was wondering what you could do to slow the process of all of this because the board is only 3 months old and i dont want it to look like its a good few years old...

I ride in salt water all the time, just rinse and relax after each ride. I have never had a salt related issue.

boa's don't like salt

nacho, i think that is why im sticking to salt water for a while, i hate snakes!

Rick, thats what i do, but dont you see that there is a whitish oxidation buildup in the binding placement holes?

I ride in salt water a lot and never had that problem... sometimes i dont even wash my board for about 4 days. I dont know what to say... Just rinse it well with fresh water!

boa's are a binding system that uses a knob to tighten the boot. The knob on these murray bindings is what the boa's are http://www.wakeside.com/page/W/PROD/hyperlite_wakeboard_bindings/hyperlite_murray_bindings_07

I ride in salt and i just throw my board in the pool when i get home. You don't need to be taking off the bindings, by the time the screws rust the rest of your board will be messed up and you'll need a new one anyways

I ride in salt and have NEVER had a corrosion problem. I rinse the board off normally but not always.

we ride in brackish water we hose everything off and dry it wtih a towel and store it in the house.
