Duotone Slash SLS 2024

Maintaining your kiteboard

Rinse the board with fresh water after every session, especially after use in salt water, and wipe it down with a soft cloth. Let the board dry completely in the shade before putting it away – avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV light can damage the finish, pads, and plugs.

• Rinsing: Always rinse the board, fins, screws, and plugs with fresh water after use in salt water.
• Drying: Let the board dry in the shade at ambient temperature. Never leave it to dry in direct sunlight on a hot surface or in a closed car.
• Storage: Store the board flat or upright in a dry, cool, and ventilated place, preferably in a boardbag with the fins removed. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the board.
• Transport: Use a boardbag for transport to protect the board from impacts, scratches, and heat.
• Repairs: Check the board regularly for impacts, cracks, and damage to the laminate. Repair minor damage promptly to prevent water damage to the core. Check the fins and screws before every session and tighten them as needed.
• General: Avoid exposing the board to extreme temperatures, and never place it directly on sharp objects or hot surfaces, such as a hot car trunk mat in direct sunlight.
