How can I increase the longevity of my board?Updated 6 months ago
Do not leave your board on the beach or in the sun for too long. Watch out for shells and other sharp objects on the beach.
Cleaning - After each use, rinse your Board with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the board and remove any stubborn dirt or grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the board's surface.
Storage - Dry your Board completely before storing in a boardbag, also if you keep it in your car during the season. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing it in areas where it could be exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this could damage the board's materials over time.
Inspection - Regularly inspect your board for any signs of damage, including cracks, dings, or delamination. For tripps and tricks regarding board repair see the respective topics in the repair section.
Repair - If your board sustains significant damage, such as a large crack or puncture, consider taking it to a professional for repair. Attempting to repair major damage yourself could result in further harm to the board if not done correctly.
Periodically, take your board to a professional for a thorough inspection and maintenance check. They can identify any potential issues early on and perform any necessary repairs or adjustments to keep your board in top condition.
