So... I do not like the roofing shingle AT ALL on the two white boards. I do not think it helps  with grip, and it hurts like hell to fall/climb up on it. I've lost ENOUGH SKIN, and seen others DO THE SAME. Does anyone want to keep it on there?  If you do, would you mind if we replaced it with FOAM similar to what's on the rear of the board?

I have put duct tape over the shingle on one of the boards... this is an experiment!  If you find it makes the board slick/worse, FEEL FREE to remove it!

If no one objects, I'd like to attempt to remove the shingle without damaging the board underneath.  Depending on how that goes, I might go for instead putting foam on top of it.  But I want to make sure everyone AGREES before I take ANY action.

=== KIDDIE SAILS ===

We have 2 complete sets for 3.0 m sails.  They appear to be in great condition.  Since they each make a complete set and come with carrying cases, I've put them both in cases COMPLETE with 2-part mast, sail, and small boom.  One is red, one is orange.

We had accidentally confused the kiddie mast with a top-piece for the other masts and were occasionally putting the kiddie on TOP of a bottom piece!  Although this DOES work somewhat, it isn't necessary, so I recommend that we do NOT do this.  The two kiddie sails have been stashed out-of-view behind the boats.
