Due to a lack of weight when inflated, they should not be transported on the roof of a vehicle. Board MaintenanceSun, sand, and saltwater will degrade any man-made material over time. Rinse OFF&#xA0;sand and saltwater deposits from your paddleboard with fresh water and store them in a cool, dry environment after each use.

Paddleboards - Safety & Care

Tips that you would need to enjoy and be safe out there in the open!

<img src="https://uploads.gorgias.io/z8QbV2P3YE6ogePy/help-centre-graphics_banner-8-8310d2cd-01ff-4ce2-b0e7-1fea0f65c481.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since you have unpacked your board and you&apos;re ready to go! Here are some tips to make sure you have a great time on your first SUP trip &#x1F60A;. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Check the weather - Be aware of the conditions even if you are going to paddle out on flat water. &#xA0;You don&#x2019;t want to be out there if there are strong winds. Always check the wind direction. If it&apos;s blowing off-shore, &#xA0;it may take you longer to get back than you expect so be mindful of that. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Personal Floatation Device (PFD) - Depending on where you are going, a PFD is not always essential. But if you are heading out into open water and plan to be more than 200 meters from the shore, it is a law to have one on. If you are not a confident swimmer or feel nervous in any way then you should use one in every situation. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And for anyone not confident in the water, it&#x2019;s always a good option to bring a PFD with you. You don&#x2019;t necessarily have to put it on&#x2014;we get you, it can feel really bulky and uncomfortable&#x2014;but at least have it ready on your board. You can inflate it before you head out to the water or you can bring a pump with you and inflate for when the time calls for it. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Paddleboard Leash - The leash attaches your leg to the paddleboard so that you won&#x2019;t have to worry about losing your board if you fall off. With a leash, your board is always within reach. Be sure to have it on every time you head out to paddle. It&#x2019;s for your and other people&#x2019;s safety.&#xA0; <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are different types of leashes for different water environments: coiled leashes for flatwater paddling, straight leashes for surfing, and quick-release or breakaway leashes for turbulent rivers. The breakaway leashes can be quickly released if your board is pulling you into dangerous situations or getting you tangled around rocks or branches. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. Sun-shielding Hats and/or Sunglasses&#xA0;- You may be thinking, why put on a sun-shielding hat when I&#x2019;m already going to be applying sunscreen? Well, hats are great at protecting your eyes and facial skin. Also, with a hat casting a shadow over your eyes, you can more easily look at the reflective water surface without squinting too much. Wear sunglasses too, if you want maximum eye protection. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">5. Carry your board&#xA0;- You may want to carry your board in and out of the water. Don&#x2019;t drag it to the beach &#x1F60A; (Don&#x2019;t worry our boards are lightweight &#x1F609;) &#xA0;Carry your board until it&#x2019;s deep enough that the fin won&#x2019;t hit the bottom. The last thing we want is a broken fin &#x1F60A;.&#xA0; <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">6. Standing up on your board&#xA0;- You may have a hard time standing up on your board, so at first, you can get on your board on your knees to get started. The handle is a good indicator of the center point of the board and that is where you want your foot to be when standing. Not too far in front or back &#x1F60A;. Once you are on the board (on your knees) you might wanna paddle a bit to get the board moving to get more stability &#x1F60A;&#xA0; Once moving, &#xA0;put your put the paddle in front of you and stand with your knees bent little. A stable/defensive stance &#x1F609;&#xA0; Once you are up, start to paddle again to get a feel of your board.&#xA0; <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">7. How to paddle&#xA0;- A common mistake of beginners is holding the paddle the wrong way. Always hold your paddle with the blade angled away for yourself. When paddling, the paddle should be straight up and down in the water. Paddle straight &#x1F60A;&#xA0; change sides from time to time to go in a straight line. If you paddle only on one side it will make the board turn slowly &#x1F60A;. To make it turn faster paddle to the front on the opposite side &#x1F609;. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">8. Drybag - For your phone, water, and maybe a snack. You don&#x2019;t have to worry about where to place it as all honu boards have a bungee to secure it during your SUP trips &#x1F609;. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once all is set, you can find yourself a nice location and start paddling! See you in the waters!&#xA0;<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">&#xA0; <img src="https://uploads.gorgias.io/z8QbV2P3YE6ogePy/help-centre-graphics_banner-6-04381cf0-ba08-44dd-8b46-bbddea0c0b13.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&#xA0;Which Standup Paddle Boards is Right For You?While there are many types of paddleboards, SUP boards generally fall into one of four categories: Surf, All-rounder, Flatwater/Touring, and Racing. And these are available as either SUPs (hardboard) or iSUPs (inflatable). There are also several hybrid boards that can straddle a category offering features from both categories.Each of these categories is designed to perform in specific conditions. So when choosing which board is right for you, consider:&#xA0; - How you will be using your paddleboard?&#xA0; - What type of water you will be accessing the most?&#xA0; - Your level of experience&#xA0; - How you will store and transport your board? All of these factors play a part in choosing the perfect board - because there is a board that will suit everyone!
