Surfboard storage during cold weather

Hey Guys,

So I know that surfboards can de-lam when it gets too hot but, can anything happen in this cold weather? I have by boards out in the garage which is not attached so gets really cold. Does this hurt my boards in any way?

Thanks

I have never seen ice damage but it could happen if your board has water in it already. I have seen spider cracks happen in the hot coat when a new hot board (from inside a car or warmed bag) gets dunked in cold water.

I know that more than -20 can crack the epoxy on some boards.

thanks for the replies fellas. no dings in my board yet so, it is water tight. good point to remember about the hot car/ cold water though, i could see myself doing this in July.

much appreciated.

surf season in Oregon is from October to March....winter.
I have never seen a board crack from cold....it's not really that cold here.
And you should be surfing those boards buddy....tis the season.
