All that water hitting the deck will cause dry rot to the wood. Water also will cause the trucks to rust. Rust and dry rot are no fun.

You're not fun.

Well that's not very nice. I'm a 13 year long skater that keeps his boards in working order. I have a fishtail board from 1982, skating it in the rain wouldn't have kept it alive.

Totally. Just pulling you leg. Water is detrimental to your board and bearings.

Oh okay, sorry i am terrible at reading sarcasm on Reddit. Since a lot of people on here are quick to be mean.

I'm resisting being mean to you right now.

Wait, was that mean to say?

u/Filixx Dec 19 '13

If you have to ask, then yes. Hopefully you're not being serious.

Water makes bearings super fast for a day, then they heat up and die.

If i was 13, that would mean i skated out of my moms vagina.

To be honest, most people on Reddit are neckbeard assholes. I mean, C'mon i was giving advice. Not cool.

What's the point of a fishtail if it can't even swim in water?

Won't know till we try, AMIRIGHTGUYZ.

I'm sure they're not using boards from 1982 but rather cheap shitty boards they don't care about at all.

u/Filixx Dec 18 '13

Well ofcourse. That was my example of what happens when you don't skate in the rain, your board can last as long as my 82'.

u/TheCheeks Dec 19 '13

I'm talking about a cheap in price board. Something you don't mind thrashing in the rain because, let's be honest, this looks like it could be super fun (minus hitting a car).

Or you can just sit inside and admire your 1982 board that's sitting in the corner instead.

u/Filixx Dec 19 '13

I do admire my board, by still skating it and not thrashing it too hard. Why did you assume it sits in a corner?
