ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hey this may well have been covered before elsewhere, but.... time to pack my gear away. Any special things you do before packing? (Apart from cry and some ritual dance - more to take care of the gear / clean / wax etc) cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 You pretty much covered it. I like to make sure all my gear is clean and dry, and before i put my board away i like to put on a new coat of wax so that the base doesn't dry out. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I made sure it was all very dry, I remember once not doing that and even after a few weeks my boots were all wet and disgusting, never again. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Why do you need to take the liners out of the boots? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 it drys better and then also because of mold. I tkae my liners out for a week and dry them real good then I put them back in the boots which isfine as well. Link to post Share on other sites
