I was out on my board a few weeks ago and the day was ruined by two punctures in quick succession. I dragged my miserable self home and dumped my kit in the garage. I began to dig out my puncture repair kit when I came across a product which I use on my mountain bike and the light went on in my head. I could have used this on my board and saved myself a bag load of unhappiness.
The product is tire slime
How to use it; you will need to check the configuration of your board’s inner tube, if like mine it has a removable valve you are in luck. Take out the valve and squirt in the gloop, remembering to remove all traces from the valve itself. Put the valve back in and re-inflate to your desired pressure.
Fingers crossed I have not had any problems since. Give it a go.

Right on man,
. That was the first thing I did when I got some holes in my tube, but that is probably because I was a broke bastard with no credit card to order a new tube than..
I wasn’t sure that was a mystery

I’ve used slime on my MTB and that is good, never used scabs though, nice tip I will check them out.
