PADDLEBOARD CARE AND MAINTENANCE
KEEP IN A WELL VENTILATED, SHADED
AREA WHEN NOT IN USE.
Direct sunlight can damage a board if left exposed for a period of time. At approximately 74°C (165°F) all EPS
foam begins to out-gas, become unstable and delaminate. Delamination is characterized by a separation
of the board's core from the protective epoxy skin. Delamination is a damage that is not repairable and
should be avoided at all costs. Keep your board in an area with good air flow and circulation. Leaving your
board in a vehicle during the day (closed or open) elevates the risk for delamination. Even on a mild day at
21°C (mid-to-high 70°F), the inside of a car can reach 77°C (170° F), well above the out-gas temperature threshold.
LIMIT EXPOSURE OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT
TO THE DECK-SIDE OF THE BOARD.
While the benefits of a non-slip traction pad are obvious, they also increase the risk of overheating and
delamination. While in use, water flowing over the deck helps to regulate surface temperature. But when the
deck traction pad is dry, the effects of heat absorption are amplified when exposed to direct sunlight. If you
must expose your board to direct sunlight during transport or temporary storage, it is safest to keep the
white (bottom) facing up.

ENGLISH
DO NOT STORE YOUR BOARD IN A BOARD
BAG FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
Board bags are intended for transportation protection, not full time storage. Prolonged storage of a wet board in a wet board
bag will have adverse effects on the finish of your board, leading to the possibility of mold, and osmotic blisters. Storing your
board in a board bag is not the same as placing it in the shade. Board bags will collect heat and potentially overheat your
board.
RINSE SAND AND SALT WATER DEPOSITS
FROM YOUR BOARD AFTER USE.
Sun, sand and saltwater will degrade any man-made material over time. Rinse off sand and saltwater deposits from your
paddle board with fresh water and store in a cool, dry environment after each use.
INSPECT YOUR BOARD FOR DINGS AND
CRACKS BEFORE AND AFTER EACH USE.
The EPS Core of your board is highly absorbent and acts as a sponge when the protective watertight epoxy skin is compromised.
To prevent your board from becoming waterlogged (heaviness and drag as a result of water absorption), regularly inspect the
exterior for dings and cracks. If you spot a crack, patching with epoxy is the preferred method of repair. JIMMY STYKS
use minimal colored paints/decals in areas prone to damage so repairs can be made with minimal aesthetic disruption.
