I started bringing my board inside my house after every sesh to avoid it being exposed to sun when it’s not being used. I have been standing it up vertically with the tail on the floor and the wheels on the wall. Do you guys think this will make the board warp or lose pop faster? Or am I just overthinking the hell out of this?
More than anything it is making sure the wood - decks and completes - are not in any extremes of temperature, hot or cold, as well as no weight, stress or other forces acting on them to cause them to warp or have other issues. Water and humidity is the only other thing to keep a board out of, so a damp area is also a no go for storage, eg cold damp garage or cellar or similar place.
Apart from that, bringing the board in to the house from a hot / cold car is good, or at least a lot better if it was subject to those sort of conditions. Also less likely to be stolen from a car or garage, but that is just another scenario.
I have a lot of completes standing on their tails and never had any dramas with them. Some people I know always stand their board on the nose, saying that there is less wear on the tail, but I can't see too much happening to a board that is just standing up and left alone, unless it is absolutely razor tailed and ready to be swapped out anyway.
The only other thing I do is keep boards in boxes when in the car so they are not easily seen when looking in, as well as keeping them insulated from the hot car when out in the full sun, which seems to work, as again, I don't have issues with the wood and my boards do tend to last a fair while, longer than average, I would say.
Looking after it is one thing, but I am not concerned with the usual wear and tear on my boards and gear, so I think you should be fine with that arrangement.
