Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Use: Wash with fresh water after every ride, especially after saltwater exposure, to prevent material degradation.
• Dry Completely: Air dry fully before storage to avoid mold, mildew, and odor buildup.
• Proper Inflation: Maintain recommended PSI—overinflation can stress seams, underinflation reduces performance and lifespan.
• Inspect Regularly: Check for punctures, loose handles, or worn seams before each use. Repair minor damage immediately.
• Use Mild Cleaners Only: Avoid harsh chemicals; use gentle soap to preserve PVC integrity.
• Store Smart: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage and fading.
• Avoid Rough Surfaces: Launch and dock in clear areas to minimize abrasion and punctures.
• Secure During Towing: Ensure tow points and ropes are properly attached to prevent unnecessary strain.
