Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the kayak with fresh water after every use, especially after saltwater, muddy, or sandy conditions. Clean the valves, fins, handles, and bungee storage areas thoroughly.
- Allow the kayak to dry completely before storage to prevent mold, mildew, and material deterioration. Leave valves open during drying when possible.
- Inflate only to the recommended 1.5 PSI and use the pump's pressure gauge to avoid overinflation.
- Inspect the PVC chambers, tarpaulin hull, seams, valves, and fins regularly for leaks, punctures, or wear.
- Remove, clean, and store the 3 removable fins after use to maintain tracking performance.
- Check seat straps, footrests, paddle holders, and bungee storage nets before each trip to ensure secure attachment.
- Fold the kayak carefully and vary fold lines occasionally to reduce stress on the material and seams.
- Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and sharp objects.
- Periodically check Boston valves for tightness and signs of air leakage before launching.
- Use the included repair kit promptly to fix small punctures before they become larger problems.
- Avoid dragging the kayak over rocks, concrete, or rough shorelines to protect the puncture-resistant hull and fabric shell.
- For best performance and longevity, inspect the kayak before each outing and address any air loss, valve issues, or seam damage immediately.
