Duotone Blur SLS Concept Blue 2025

Maintaining your Duotone surfboard

After use: Rinse the board thoroughly with fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Salt crystals and sand can scratch the finish and get into the fin boxes, so take extra care around the fins and screws.

Drying: Let the board air-dry completely in the shade. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can damage the finish, core, and any stickers. Never dry the board with heaters or on hot surfaces.

Storage: Store the board flat or upright on a level surface in a cool, dry, well-ventilated room. Avoid leaving it in a closed car or on top of equipment where it may be exposed to heat and pressure points. A board bag is a good way to provide extra protection during transport.

Fins and screws: Remove the fins when the board won’t be used for an extended period, and regularly check that the screws are tight and not corroded. Don’t grease the screws; keep them clean and dry.

Repair: Remove wax with a plastic scraper and a little warm water as needed. Check the board for cracks and impact damage after every session, and repair minor damage with an epoxy repair kit as soon as possible to prevent water from getting into the core. Never leave repaired areas untreated.
