Great tips! I wanted to mention something that everyone may have thought of but me. On my old boat I wanted smooth fast blades so I used rubbing compound and shined the entire board up. It always would slide up. No amount of brake seemed to work. With my new boat I wanted fast smooth blades too. This time I only worked on the part I thought made it to the water and left the top foot or so alone. This board almost always stays down. If I smack a big wave it may come up two or three inches. Its not too bad to deal with now. So let the top of the board be ruff and ugly and it kind of sticks in the trunk. Sometimes it pays to be lazy.
Take care.
