Pressure dents in surfing refer to small surface depressions. Repeated foot pressure compresses foam beneath fiberglass. Deck areas near stance show dents commonly. Soft foam cores dent more easily. Minor dents rarely affect performance significantly. However deeper dents weaken structural strength. Proper foot placement reduces concentrated pressure. Heavier landings increase dent formation. For example a surfer rides frequently on one board. Small depressions appear near front foot area. The surface remains intact without cracks. Continued stress may deepen those dents. Regular inspection helps detect worsening damage. Careful handling extends board lifespan.
