Starboard SUP Tips: How to take care of your Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard (iSUP)

These 7 handy tips will make sure your gear last longer so that you can enjoy your time out on the water.

1 - Cleaning: Clean the board after use with freshwater and mild soap.

2 - Avoid direct sunlight: If leaving the board inflated in direct sunlight, deflate it to at least 10 PSI.

3 - Don’t use a regular air compressor: Do not use a regular air compressor, as it can easily over-inflate the board and may void the warranty.
Specialized SUP electric pumps with pressure control are safe to use.

4 - No dragging: Sharp debris can puncture your board so, don’t drag it.

5 - Use it frequently: Long-term storage can cause glue bonds to disintegrate.

6 - Store at room temperature: Keep the boards sheltered away from high temperature and humidity.

7 - Keep it dry: Dry the board off after use and before storing to avoid mould damage.
