What do you use to slow down the fading of your wakeboard? Yes I know not to put it in the sun lol

I have the same problem with the 2012 ronix cookie board and frank boots.. I literally covered them up after every use and the color still faded bad in just a few weeks

? Really? Never thought about boards fading, never worried about it, never noticed. Might be a Ronix-thing? Couldn't care anyway...

try 303 - it should slow down the effects of the sun... warranty claim?

Never had any problems as well, but I don't have any Ronix boards...yet. Maybe put a towel over it when it's in the boat?

I would suggest covering your boards. Anything that has the popping colors are subject to fade. If you want to keep them good and loud I would cover them up after you ride..

It will also make you look like a way better rider when you pull your board out to ride. Smile

pm me if you want a picture. The board hasn't faded terribly, but the boots have faded A LOT. Only problem is, the boots are awesome. They are super comfortable, durable, and make the landings extra soft.

bellevilleboarder, i like the fact that you said it like the boots being so good functionally you're out of excuse to replace them Mr. Green

Yea...the boots could have pictures of elton john tubing behind an xstar and i'd still keep them. First pair of boots i've owned that the drawstrings or heel strap haven't ripped

Boards and bindings are disposable, perishable items. Ride the crap out of them, and replace them when they wear out. A little faded paint isn't going to affect performance.
