9-10. STORING YOUR HOBIE STAND UP PADDLEBOARD
Hobie has chosen PVC to provide superior protection from ultraviolet light. However, to ensure extra years of
flexibility and bright colors, avoid storing the board where it will be exposed to weather or in direct sunlight. Please
review the following list for storage and board care tips.
• Before storing, hose off the board and let it dry completely to prevent mildew buildup.
• Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap and fresh water.
•
You may store the board inflated or deflated. If you deflate
the board, we recommend that you store it in the
protective bag that came with the board
•
If storing the board outdoors, raise it up off the ground
and cover it with a tarp to prevent exposure to the elements
• We do not recommend hanging the board.
• Do not store in extreme conditions
(i.e. above 150F or below -10F)
• Store in a clean, dry place.
