Are the boards waterproof? I would love to have one but I live in an area that gets a lot of rain, and I'd be terrified of getting caught in a storm and ruining my $1200 board. On the flip side, if it does handle water okay, then I imagine boarding in the rain could be a lot of fun :)

Water resistant, but I wouldn't advise using them in a downpour. The biggest concern is a lack of traction with slick longboard wheels more than damage to the electronics.
