Storage
Store the product in a dry and dust-free place where there are no major temperature
fluctuations and direct sun/UV radiation is avoided.
When not in use for a longer period of time, the board should be stored flat outside
the backpack, possibly filled with some air.
Keep the product out of the reach of children in a safe place.
Do not place sharp, heavy or hot objects on the board.
Do not drag or grind the product over hard or abrasive surfaces before storage.
There must be no sand, gravel (or similar) in the seam recesses or the folds of the
board, which can lead to holes, abrasion or damage during storage.
Be sure to check the product for defects, cracks, wear or ageing after prolonged
storage.
If the SUP board is stored rolled up for a long time in cold weather, material cracks
or frost damage may occur.
Care
Aggressive cleaning agents, knives, tools, sharp or hard objects, brushes with metal
or nylon bristles or coarse scouring sponges must not be used for cleaning.
Use only mild, gentle cleaning agents.
It is recommended to clean the used parts after each use. The board is most
practical to clean when the valves are closed.
Remove the US fin as explained above in the chapter "Dismantling the US fin".
Place the board on a clean, dry and level surface.
The board and the US fin should now be rinsed with fresh sweet water and mild
soap to free both elements from grains of sand, salt, pebbles and other dirt.
Wipe the board with a dry and soft cloth or rag. Then allow the board and fin to dry
completely.
Maintenance and repair of the board:
Keep the repair kit (glue, solvent, etc.) out of the reach of children.
All repairs must be carried out only in a well-ventilated place. Avoid
inhaling toxic fumes and direct contact of the adhesive with the skin,
mouth and eyes.
