Duotone Wam 2024

Caring for your Duotone Wam board

Rinse the board with fresh water after every session – especially after using it in salt water – and let it dry completely in the shade before putting it away. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high heat, as this can damage the laminate, pads and finish. Rinse the fins, screws and fin boxes with fresh water, and regularly check that the fins are securely attached and undamaged before heading out on the water.

• Rinsing: Always rinse the board, fins and binding screws with fresh water after using them in salt water.
• Drying: Let the board dry completely in the shade – never use heaters or leave it in direct sunlight.
• Storage: Store the board flat on a level surface or upright in a board bag, away from heat sources, car interiors in summer and sharp objects.
• Transport: Always use a padded board bag or the handles, and avoid dragging the board across sand or asphalt.
• Repairs: Small dents and scratches in the laminate can be sealed with epoxy to prevent water from entering the construction.

With a little careful maintenance, your bamboo board will retain its shape, flex and finish for many seasons.
