For the last two sessions right binding comes off after riding for about 10 minutes - but it doesn't appear that the hole for the screw in the board is worn off.
What do you do in this case? Put some teflon (white tape that is used to fixed water pipes) around the screw or drill new, bigger hole and use bigger screw. In this last case, where would you go to fix it?

Thanks for all the help, guys!

Hopefully see you on the water today, CHC/NE in the estuary!

The White pipe tape is the way to go, or even a few drops of locktight.

Thanks, guys - it didn't work first two times, but then I put on heaps of teflon tape and it seems to work.

Anyway, another problem (since I cannot lost them) - my wetsuit has a loose stitch, so half of my ass is hanging out of the suit.
Where is the best place to take the wetsuit to fix it. Thanks for info!

An crusty old 10' mal surfer told me this gem - If you don't reckon it is worth a professional repair. $2 contact adhesive it together - then blind stitch it up with a big needle using dental floss that is so tough it is insane...

if it is worth fixing take it to the seventhwave wetsuit factory in ferry road opposite groundswell

oh and the fridge paint did come undone eventually :roll:

hehe, doofus, sorry to hear that... try something like a nut-glue, there's supposed to be from easy to pull out to never get out again strength.

yep, the wetsuit is worth repairing - but i'll see the price at seventhwave. thanks for info!

p.s.: today at brighton was rough as hell... at least for me
