Care and Maintenance
It is best to use water to clean the kayak. Never try to
paint the kayak as paint will not adhere to its surface.
Storage
• The best way to store your kayak is to simply
set it on a flat surface.
• If outdoors, cover it with a cockpit tarpaulin.
• Do not leave straps or ropes tightly wound around
the hull for any extended period of time, especially
in warmer weather.
• The hull surface, much as the exterior finish of a car,
will better retain its appearance if not exposed to the
sun while in long-term storage.
Caution
Water may accumulate in the hull as a result of
paddling, rain or condensation. This is not a defect.
To let the water escape, simply remove the drain plug,
and set the kayak on its stern in a vertical position.
