A Long time ago (4years or so( I bought a Delta Speed) Chuck didn't tell
me much about the vent and I left it closed in my truck, in Sacramento
on a 90 degree plus day. That evening I went to my truck and looked at
my board bag. My board had expanded over an Inch in Thickness, needless
to say it was toast ! Luckily I got Chuck to build me a new one for $500.
Maybe the new boards are stronger, but cycling the board cannot be good for
it in any case.
The first thing I do when going sailing is install or tighten the vent and
loosen it when I get off the water.
