The fit and reliability of your surfboard will directly affect the safety and enjoyment of surfing. You need to make sure the surfboard is in good condition when you pick it up. You can check the condition of the surfboard from the following 2 points.

• Surfboard edge

To avoid breakage, you should stop using your surfboard if it is cracked or bent at the edges.

• Surfboard tail fin and foot rope

Making sure the tail fin is secure, and that the footrope is secure and not cracked.
The footrope is the only piece of safety equipment that binds your board to you. It's also the tool you need to quickly retrieve your board after you hit the water. If a footrope breaks unexpectedly, it can force you into the middle of the ocean with no reliable floatation, which is very dangerous.
