not what i was expecting

but anyway

i have a carbon starboard ace and i have to take the vent plug out even when the covers shiny side up, if its sunny because it gets that hot

your call i spose, cant comment on how hot your car gets, it's better to be safe than sorry i spose so more or less if in doubt i would take it out

Avoid sun if possible. If in a bag, open the zip to vent out the hot air, especially is the board is wet to avoid osmosis bubbles.

If you cannot find any shade, a good trick is to leave the board on the side to minimize the amount of sun energy received. On sand, just dig a small trench with the foot, put the board on the rail, and block with sand on the side. Or lean on the paddle.
