Surfco Shortboard Nose Guard Kit

This specific model is designed exclusively for shortboards with a pointed nose. It will not fit boards with rounded, blunt, or wide noses, such as most longboards or fish shapes.

The adhesive is designed to be durable for protection but can generally be removed with a bit of patience and a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the glue. While it shouldn't damage a healthy finish, be careful when peeling it off older or brittle boards.

The guard is lightweight and low-profile, so it has a negligible impact on your board's hydrodynamics. Most surfers find that the peace of mind regarding dings outweighs any minor change in performance.

Yes, it is actually a great way to cover up existing minor damage and prevent it from getting worse. Just ensure the area is clean, dry, and free of wax or salt residue before applying the adhesive for the best bond.

Yes, the coating significantly reduces friction against the inner lining of board bags. It prevents the nose from catching on the fabric, which is especially helpful if you use a tight-fitting travel bag.
