Take one of those $15 ding repair kits - nothing like being stuck in BFE with
a hole in your board!


Take some of that Fix-a-Flat stuff.  Its saved my butt a couple of times.


I also use those "soft racks" that clip onto the rain gutters, so I can 
_secure_ the board to the roof when I crash for the night.  Sometime boards
can grow legs and wings (like when its windy)
