Taking care of your SUP is pretty easy, with little regular maintenance required.
To keep your board in tip-top shape for as long as possible, here’s some simple things to be aware of:

  • Don’t expose your board to sunlight for too long, as this can cause permanent damage. Store indoors, in the shade, or in a reflective bag when not in use.
  • After paddling in the ocean, rinse your board and all accessories with fresh water. Failing to rinse-off salt and other debris can weaken seams and damage your board’s material over time.
  • Regularly check for cracks, scrapes, or any other issues. The faster you identify a problem, the quicker it can be fixed to avoid too much long-term damage.
  • No dragging: Sharp debris can puncture your board so, don’t drag it.
