  9. Ding repair kit. Solar easy fix kit for cracks and holes. Stickers for quick repairs
  10. Extra set of fins
  11. Extra leash
  12. Fin key
  13. Board straps (When using a taxi or other transport is good to have your own)

  16. First Aid Kit (Travel size, with essentials to disinfect cuts etc)
