Kiteboards are robust and are subject to fracture during their lifetime, but there are some elements of each tab to check before driving. Here is a checklist for pre-ride kiteboards, and some tips for repairing the damage to joints.

For boards with fins to ensure that all bolts are tightened before driving the fin. Over time, they can be fin screwsloose. Although it is not the end of the world, when a fin is lost while driving, can make the board more difficult to drive, and is expensive to replace. It only takes a second to draw the screws until before you leave.
Check ties or straps are tightened as well. As with fin screws may loosen over time. If a foot or association active belts while driving, can easily lead to injuries of the knee and ankle and it is very difficult otherwise just go back anyway.
