Paddle Board Care and Maintenance Guide

Before Use

• Allow two weeks after manufacture date for your paddle board to cure before use
• Be careful as to how much pressure is applied to the paddle board via strapping or other before it is fully cured

Transporting

• Use a paddle board cover if possible (available from Force Field)
• If no cover is available, ensure racks are either soft or padded
• Position roof racks as far apart as possible
• Carry paddle board upside down on racks to prevent denting of the hull
• Secure the paddle board using flat straps (available from Force Field) rather than rope

After use

• Rinse the paddle board with fresh water – in particular the straps

Storing

• Store in the shade whenever possible
• If no shade is available, use a cover (available from Force Field)
• Store upside down – to protect the hull and the fin
• Never leave paddle board in direct sunlight in a yard where there in no wind – especially mid summer with extreme heat

Repairs

• If the paddle board is damaged while in salt water, remove it as soon as possible, rinse with fresh water, and allow drying fully before repairing
• Do not allow water to remain in the paddle board as it can be absorbed and adds to the weight of the paddle board
• Minor chips and scratches may be filled with polyester or epoxy resin
• Small cracks and dings may be fixed with a fiberglass repair kit
• More serious damage should be fixed by a professional
