• Storage: Store the board in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Avoid storing the board inflated for long periods, especially in hot or humid conditions.
• Fin and Paddle: Rinse the fin and paddle with freshwater after each use. Check the fin for damage and store the paddle properly to prevent bending or warping.
• Valve Maintenance: Regularly inspect the valve for leaks or damage. Apply silicone-based lubricant to the valve seal to ensure an airtight fit and prevent air loss.
