I bought a 2nd hand 54in VS stubbie. I got it bc its big, im big, marketed as being versatile, and also thought I might be able to surf it ( I cant). I bc its biggest board I can fit inside my car. Anyway, after using it this weekend I started to regret my decision. my belly and chest look like they are red as if sunburnt, from contacting and sliding on the surface, my wrist looks scabbed/rashed as does my knees and feet from attempting Drop knee, and to stand on it a few times as well.

It feels like some very stiff foam, effectively acting like sand paper.

Is a wetsuit or some other product necessary? Im thinking of selling it and getting something else.
