Be careful not to sand through to the foam core. Exposing the foam core to water can damage the core. If you get a puncture, crack or hole in your paddle, dry the paddle. Water will damage the core. You can put a piece of duct tape or plastic tape over a crack or hole to keep the foam core from getting water logged before a repair can be made.
