Care and maintenance:

• Rinse with fresh water after every session, especially after use in salt water.

• Store out of direct sunlight – UV exposure degrades foam and the deck over time.

• Never leave the board in a hot car or enclosed space; excessive heat can warp the shape.

• Inspect fin plugs and fins before each session and tighten any loose screws.

• Use a board bag for transport and storage to protect against dings and UV.
