Proper care and maintenance are essential to prolonging the life and performance of your Pau Hana paddleboard. After each use, rinse your board with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Store it in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage and delamination. Regularly inspect the vent plug to ensure it's functioning correctly, as it helps regulate internal pressure and prevent delamination. For inflatable boards, avoid overinflation and ensure they're completely dry before deflating and storing to prevent mold growth. By following these guidelines, you can ensure your paddleboard remains in optimal condition for years to come. READ MORE ➜
