Rinse off With Clean Water After each Use
Rinsing off residue, debris, and salt water from your board will ensure it stays looking new for years to come. A damp cloth or Magic Eraser will also safely remove any dirt or scuffs that may have occurred while in use.
STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE
Always store your paddle board in a cool, dry place or a shady area out of reach of direct sunlight to avoid bubbling underneath the deck pad and fading of colors.
KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT WHEN NOT IN USE
The sun can cause the colors of your board to fade over time so it is best to keep your board out of direct sunlight to maintain vibrance in the paint colors.
