The absolute perfect defense is extreme preventative caution. Before you ever physically eagerly touch the board rigorously clearly comprehensively photograph every single tiny existing ding and minor scratch from multiple specific angles while the shop owner explicitly watches you.
If they still aggressively demand massive extortionate money later confidently clearly brilliantly show them the time stamped photographic evidence on your phone. Highly reputable ethical established surf schools rarely ever extort tourists so strictly carefully actively heavily completely avoid the tiny random unverified shady shacks entirely.
