GOOD MAINTENANCE

A LONG LIFE FOR YOUR SUP

Many people wonder why their SUP is deteriorating rapidly, the joints are peeling, the colour is fading, etc. But how do you keep your SUP in good condition for a long time? But how do you keep your SUP in good condition for a long time? 🧐

It's simple and you can make a difference!

1. UV RAYS AND HEAT CAN DEGRADE AND DAMAGE YOUR SUP. THIS CAN LEAD TO INCREASED INTERNAL PRESSURE, DETERIORATION OF ADHESIVES, DISCOLORATION AND OTHER IMPACTS. IT IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT NOT TO LEAVE YOUR INFLATABLE BOARD IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. WE RECOMMEND TO PUT IT IN THE SHADE.

2. THE PRESSURE IN THE BOARD. TOO MUCH PRESSURE ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED 15 PSI CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR SUP. CHECK YOUR BOARD PRESSURE FROM TIME TO TIME!

3. AFTER USE IN A LAKE, RIVER, OCEAN OR EVEN A SWIMMING POOL, RINSE IT WITH CLEAN WATER TO REMOVE ANY ALGAE, SAND, SALT, CHLORINE, OR OTHER COMPONENTS THAT MAY REMAIN ON IT.

4. BEFORE STORING THE BOARD: MAKE SURE YOU DRY YOUR BOARD WELL BY LEAVING IT IN THE OPEN AIR FOR A FEW MINUTES OR WITH AN ABSORBENT CLOTH TO PREVENT THE APPEARANCE OF MOULD.

5. STORAGE OF THE INFLATED SUP: STORE YOUR SUP IN A DRY AND VENTILATED AREA ON A WALL OR OTHER SURFACE OR ON THE GROUND. REMEMBER TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE IN THE BOARD TO REDUCE THE FORCE ON THE BOARD'S COMPONENTS DURING STORAGE.

6. STORAGE OF THE DEFLATED SUP: TO DEFLATE THE PADDLE BOARD, STAND ON A CLEAN SURFACE (GRASS, HOUSE FLOOR, BAY, ETC). NEVER ON SAND. DEFLATE THE PADDLE BOARD WITH THE PUMP OR WITH YOUR OWN WEIGHT AND FOLD THE BOARD WITHOUT TIGHTENING IT TOO MUCH. AVOID KEEPING YOUR DEFLATED SUP IN A PLACE OF HIGH HEAT AND/OR HUMIDITY SUCH AS A SUITCASE IN YOUR CAR, SHED EXPOSED TO THE SUN, DIRECT SUNLIGHT, ETC.

7. CLEANING PADDLE MARKS ON YOUR INFLATABLE : USE NATURAL CLAY STONE (WITHOUT ADDITIVES). TAKE A DAMP CLOTH AND WIPE THE CLAY STONE AND THEN THE PADDLE MARKS. WHEN FINISHED, RINSE WITH CLEAN WATER.
