When I first started stand up paddle surfing I would hit the rails of the stand up board A LOT. I still hit it and have even taken chunks out of the rails. The carbon fiber stand up paddles are strong and easily dent and ding the epoxy boards. My friend's board looks like a shark ate the rail. It is wasted almost the entire length of the rail. I gotta get a picture to post but I don't think he'll like that.

I brought this type of paddle guard material from a surf shop. It seem to be the same stuff you put on the edges of car doors to protect them.
