Care & Repair

Our hybrid construction adds many benefits, wax-free traction keeps your board clean, adds durability to dings/cracks, protects the user (& others) from impact, while still maintaining the performance aspects and familiar feel of a normal hard board.  Although they are durable, please remember the core is constructed as a glassed board and will break like a normal board.  If you treat the boards with care, the boards will have better longevity and provide you with more waves and stoke.

 

***Below are some tips for care. 

• The soft EVA material wrapped around the deck and rails provides extra protection for both the board and the user.  However, it can still dent, ding, puncture, tear, or break upon impact.  Handle with care *just as you would a hard board* both in and out of the water to keep it looking clean and damage-free.  
• Avoid exposing the board to high temperatures, such as inside a hot car or in direct sunlight, as it will cause the board to bubble or delaminate.  Prolonged exposure to UV rays and excessive heat will weaken and degrade the board's materials and overall structure. (Same goes for any type of surfboard)
• Always store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Rinse with fresh water after each use, salt water is corrosive and can weaken the fiberglass over time.  
• Use a padded board bag for transportation and storage to help prevent unexpected impacts and dings.

Lastly, we want you to push your limits but also know your limits.  If you do not know how to handle your board in big surf, you are not only putting yourself in danger but others as well.  Unmanaged boards are prone to buckle/break in heavier surf.  Learn to handle your board and yourself until you are fully confident in a safe and comfortable wave range, gradually take steps to riding larger waves.
