SURFBOARD CARE

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 EVA traction protects the deck and rails but can still ding, puncture and break upon impact. Handle with care in and out of the water.
  • UV rays and heat are a major cause of deterioration.
  • Will delaminate and bubble if left in high temperatures like a hot car or left baking in the sunlight, store in a cool/dry place when unattended or storing.
  • Rinse with fresh water after each use, salt water is corrosive and will weaken the fiberglass over time.  
  • Use a board bag with padding for transportation and when storing to avoid unexpected impact 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 certain wave range, and then take the next step.

SURFBOARD REPAIR

For any dings or punctures through the board that exposes foam or allows water to penetrate through the glassing, use sandpaper and epoxy surfboard resin to ensure the ding is sealed from water, adheres to the board, and is sanded for a smooth finish. Consult your local ding repair shop.
