ION Hook Windsurf Stainless Steel

Maintenance of ION Hook Windsurf Stainless Steel

The stainless steel hook requires minimal maintenance, but a little care after every session will significantly extend its lifespan.

• Rinsing: Rinse the hook in fresh water after every session in salt water to remove salt residue and sand from the surface and screw holes.
• Cleaning: If needed, use mild soap, lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasives, steel brushes and harsh cleaning products that can scratch the steel.
• Drying: Let the hook air-dry completely before putting it away – avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.
