I did some maintenance on No.18 today.
I cleaned off the wax from the nose area of the board. In the past, I sometimes use this area to push off when I am ready to get to my feet.
Instead of wax, I installed a thick piece of diamond grooved deck pad.
While I was out today, the top mounted cable guide came off again. I just tensioned everything and it was fine - but it is just about every session where I have to redo this cable guide.
I decided to change the way I hold the cable in place at this section. I saw Glenn Pang had done tis to a few of his boards - installing leash plugs and zip tying the cable in place.
There were some air bubbles in the epoxy, so I wasn't going to get a way with a single pour installation.
I went ahead and got a straight epoxy top coat on the areas around the plugs.
I also Noticed a few pin holes around the mast track boxes. I filled those as well.
This should go a long way towards keeping this board in top shape!
