Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the board, fins, rod holders, and accessories with fresh water after every use, especially after saltwater fishing.
- Allow the board to dry completely before rolling and storing to help prevent mold, odors, and material wear.
- Inflate within the recommended 12–15 PSI range and never exceed 15 PSI.
- Inspect the PVC surface, seams, valve, and D-rings regularly for punctures, leaks, or loose fittings.
- Remove and clean the three tracking fins after use to prevent debris buildup.
- Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to extend PVC life.
- Check accessory mounts, bungee cords, kayak seat attachments, and fishing rod holders for secure fastening before each trip.
- Avoid dragging the board over rocks, docks, or rough surfaces to reduce puncture and abrasion damage.
- Periodically inspect and tighten the inflation valve using the included valve wrench if needed.
- Use the included repair kit promptly for small punctures to maintain optimal performance and safety.
