• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Avoid leaving the board inflated for extended periods in hot environments to protect the material.
• Fin and Paddle: Rinse the fin and paddle with freshwater after use. Inspect the fin for any cracks or damage and store the paddle securely to prevent bending or wear.
• Valve Maintenance: Check the valve for air leaks regularly. Apply a silicone lubricant to the valve’s O-ring to maintain an airtight seal and prevent leaks.
