I bought some clear ding tape from a waveski shop a while ago and finally got to use it after the weekend when stupid let the board blow into the car 
( I haven't checked the car yet..its got so much dirt on it you couldn't tell anyway..
.The car only gets washed about 2 x a year.
Is this tape meant to be a temporary fix or permanent? I think it's made for surfboards / waveskis..
The board got some cracks around the edge of the nose but they weren't that bad. Luckily it was my oldest dinged up board or I would have been spewing..
Want the Caveman back?
What tape is that? To stop dinging the edges of kayak paddles, I use 1mm thick helicopter tape. Costs about $12 per metre from Fibreglass Material Supplies/Valspar at Seven Hills. Doesn't really provide an protection for WW kayaking, though :)
Could see the board was going to get blown around last week at Rodd Point, so tied the rig to a tree with an old tie-down strap (buckle/cam broke, so cut that off), while I walked back to car to change.
It is for things that don't matter so much if a tiny bit of water gets in. Modern WS board styro cores mean water is bad bad bad.
It is not permanent if it is on a proper ding.
It's usually protected at Valentine so I was a bit slack. I was thinking it was a Southerly rather than a SSW and blowing in a bit at 30kts +..I'd usually get dressed , rig and tie to a tree then get the board out.
