Frequently Asked Questions
1. How rigid are your inflatable paddleboards compared to traditional fiberglass hardboards?
1. How rigid are your inflatable paddleboards compared to traditional fiberglass hardboards?
Our inflatable paddleboards offer exceptional rigidity that rivals standard hardboards. Engineered with advanced, high-density internal drop-stitch technology and a dual-layer military-grade PVC skin, the board easily withstands high air pressure. When fully inflated to the recommended 12-15 PSI, the board becomes rock-hard and will not flex, bend, or sag under the weight of a rider.
2. Is this paddleboard suitable for absolute beginners and families?
2. Is this paddleboard suitable for absolute beginners and families?
Yes, absolutely. Stability was our primary engineering priority. Our boards feature a wider, optimized hull geometry and an extra-thick profile designed to maximize water surface displacement. This creation offers a stable, balanced platform that allows beginners, kids, and even pets to stand up, balance, and maneuver with total confidence right from their first launch.
3. What is the best way to clean and maintain the board to prevent mold and wear?
3. What is the best way to clean and maintain the board to prevent mold and wear?
Maintenance is simple. After every excursion—especially in saltwater environments—rinse the inflated board thoroughly with clean freshwater to remove salt buildup, sand, and debris. Allow the board to dry completely in a shaded area out of direct sunlight before deflating and rolling it up. Storing a wet board inside its travel pack can trap moisture, which will damage the cosmetic finish and cause mold.
4. How long does it take to fully inflate the paddleboard using the manual pump?
4. How long does it take to fully inflate the paddleboard using the manual pump?
On average, it takes roughly 5 to 8 minutes of steady pumping to fully inflate the board to its optimal operational pressure using our high-capacity manual pump. As a pro-tip: the built-in pressure gauge will not register a reading until the board is filled with air and begins to build internal resistance, which typically happens around the 7-PSI mark.
5. Can I leave the paddleboard fully inflated in the sun during a long beach day?
5. Can I leave the paddleboard fully inflated in the sun during a long beach day?
While our military-grade PVC is treated with high-grade UV-resistant coatings to handle harsh sunlight, leaving a fully inflated board baking on hot beach sand for extended periods causes the air inside to expand due to heat. If you are taking a long break on the shore, we highly recommend storing the board in the shade, or slightly releasing 1-2 PSI of air to prevent over-pressurization.
