Last Spring, I bought a used board from Craigslist. Yesterday I went riding with it for the first time and had a blast. The only problem was that my bindings kept loosening. I would tighten my front binding on the lift line, and then it would be 2-3 notches loose when I strapped in. The same thing happened with both the front and back bindings (moreso for the front) from the beginning of a run to the end. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Also, this is my first board (it's long overdue!) and I know about waxing, base cleaning, tuning edges, and summer storage, but is there anything I should do each day when I get home from the mountain to keep my board in good shape?
