How to Care For Your Stand Up Paddle Board
*Please Read! It’s for your own good.
The EPS foam core your SUP board is constructed of can expand and contract when subjected to extreme temperatures and/or direct sunlight. The automatic release valve is designed to limit this expansion by allowing the gases to escape and keep your board safe from damage. Your release valve is “care free” and requires no maintenance or adjustment.
The Golden Rule:
Keep out of direct sunlight when not in use - If it’s a hot sunny day don’t let your SUP bake in the sun on land for any period of time!
Please follow these simple tips to ensure a long life for your board
- Due not store or transport your board enclosed in bubble wrap. Any form of sunlight coming in contact with the bubble wrap creates a green house effect and will bake your board in minutes.
- Store in a well ventilated area where the temperature will not change rapidly and will not exceed 55-85 degrees.
- NEVER, leave your board chill’n on land in direct sunlight for ANY length of time when its not in use. Keep it in the shade at all times or in a sun reflective board bag.
- Always place your board with the traction facing the ground when outdoors. The traction can heat up quickly when exposed to direct sunlight and bake your board.
Most importantly get to know your board. If it feels like it is getting hot, it probably is so get it in a cooler area. These boards are of course meant to be used and enjoyed in the outdoors and in the sun. With a little care you will have no problems and your SUP will provide years and years of fun.
