nose protectors could be a good idea as you can screw up your board with too many bangs.
An easy way to do this can be just to mount your trucks so far forward that the base plate extends beyond the deck slightly. no good if you want to do nose manuals though.

there's heaps of different options... abit of ingenuity doesnt go astray...
a quick search round the net and silverfish should bring a few options up....

simply gluing a piece of anything on the front would help...
options are limitless

Crashing is fun for young and old alike, and if your lucky you might even end up with scars. The ladies love scars and so does Richard. Put your helmet on.
Cool kids wear lids.
Biking
Yeah I do DH mountainbiking as well so I have my fair share of scars
a longboard condom.

Shoe Goo
The laminate on my first board started to split from too many impacts, I usually just chuck on a layer or two of shoe goo, seems to help protect from impact - at low speed anyway
