Being the idiot that I am, I forgot to put a layer of wax on my board before putting it into storage for the summer. I just took it out now, and the base is very visibly dry.
Just wondering if I've done any damage to it, or should it be fine as long as I haven't ridden it dry?
Exactly! It wasn't "wet" in the first place, so it can't "dry". If you're worried, base clean and re-wax. I never wax my boards before the summer, just a quick rewax in the fall and they're good to go.
Apply a conditioning wax coat. from cheapo warm temp wax to even specially made products for base conditioning such as Swix Base Prep or Dominator Renew
The only thing that gets dry is the wax, the base will be perfectly fine. Think about it this way, if you were to go buy a 2013 board today do you think the shop waxed it every few months to make sure the base didn't get damaged.
