Leave it in the sun on a hot day or warm it up with a blow dryer, hit the bottom with a bunch of conditioner (proofide or obenauf's etc.) and put it in the sun again/warm it up with the blow dryer again. Do some "chest compressions" while it's nice and warm with goop on the underside and also ride it on those hot days. You'll be surprised how fast it breaks in.
