BASIC SUP CARE

-

According to YoloBoard, a manufactur­er of SUPs and outdoor gear based in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, it’s pertinent to care for your board. Here are a few tips to ensure reliable use season after season.

Wash and rinse your board after every use. Sand, dirt and any other debris can damage your board and even cause discolorat­ion. Always use warm, freshwater with a light detergent or mild soap.

Apply WD-40 to lubricate metal parts on the board to prevent rust and corrosion. This can be done at the start of the season and before you store it for the winter.

Avoid putting any pressure on your board during storage as this can cause cracks and deform the exterior.

Although there's additional criteria to consider when purchasing a SUP, it’s best to visit your local retailer to determine the right model for the activities you want to enjoy this season.
