G'day all - just found this great forum - I have recently bought a SH Coreban 14' Turbo, came with a cover that seems unusually difficult to put on, seems like it is a little too tight to go over the fins - is there a trick to it or is it possible that the cover has shrunk? Guy I bought it from had it slung in the corner of his storage unit, cover off. Any advice appreciated, thanks!

The cover will protect from cats sharpening their claws on the pad :-)

You can keep a board in a bag, but either perfectly dry, or with the zip open to let it breathe, but then it must not be a tight fit. Otherwise you risk developing mold and bubbles (osmosis) in the painted boards.

You can cut a slot in the bag to let the fin through.

Ah ah yes, I didn't bother to google it :-)
Seems insane to not use FCSII screwless fin boxes for this kind of setup however...
