Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Use: Always rinse the kayak with fresh water after every trip, particularly if you’ve paddled in saltwater or muddy rivers. This will help prevent the buildup of salt, dirt, and debris that could damage the kayak’s surface and materials.
• Inspect the Hull: Check the hull regularly for cracks, dents, or scratches. Address any small damage promptly with a kayak-specific repair kit. For significant damage, seek professional repair services to ensure the kayak's structural integrity.
• Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, allow the kayak to dry completely. Store it upside down in a cool, shaded area to prevent mold, mildew, and odors from developing.
• Proper Storage: Store the kayak in a dry, cool location, away from direct sunlight and temperature extremes. If you must store it outdoors, use a kayak cover to protect it from UV damage and dirt accumulation.
• Check for Leaks: Periodically check for any leaks in the hull or hatch areas. Ensure that seals are intact and functioning correctly. Replace any worn-out or damaged seals to maintain waterproofing.
• Skeg/Rudder Maintenance: If your kayak has a skeg or rudder, ensure that it is free of debris and operates smoothly. Clean the skeg box and lubricate moving parts to maintain optimal performance.
• Footrest and Seat Inspection: Ensure the seat and footrests are securely attached and adjusted for comfort. Check for any wear or loose components and replace or repair them as needed.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply silicone-based lubricant to foot braces, seat adjustments, and other moving parts to ensure they continue to function smoothly and avoid rust or corrosion.
• Protect from UV Damage: UV rays can weaken materials over time, causing fading and degradation. Protect your kayak by storing it in a shaded area or using a cover when not in use.
• Annual Professional Inspection: If you frequently paddle in rough conditions or use the kayak in challenging environments, have a professional inspect it yearly to ensure it remains in top condition
