Your paddleboard should be stored in a dry, temperate place to avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, which can cause mold or separation of the PVC layers.
Before storing it:
Clean and dry your board: Rinse your SUP with fresh water using a soft cloth, then let it dry completely to avoid bad odors and mold. Do the same with your accessories (paddle, leash, fins, etc.).
Inflated or deflated? It's up to you!
✔ If you want to leave it inflated, lower the pressure to 3-7 PSI to reduce tension on the seals.
✔ If you’re short on space, you can:
Roll the board like a "burrito" (without tightening it too much) to avoid deep creases.
Store it in its carrying bag, folding it properly from the nose to the back, fins up, and avoid placing heavy items on top.
Where to store it?
Choose a dry, temperate place to avoid UV exposure and extreme temperature fluctuations, which could damage the adhesives, PVC, and fade the colors of the board.
By following these tips, your paddleboard will be ready to use as soon as the good weather returns!
