Summer-Ready in 30 Minutes
Peak paddling season is here. Follow these maintenance steps to keep your Vatrad SUP performing all summer long.
UV Protection: Inflatable PVC boards are susceptible to UV degradation. Rinse your board with fresh water after saltwater use and store it out of direct sunlight when not in use. A UV protectant spray applied monthly extends the life of your board significantly.
Valve Care: The inflation valve is the most failure-prone component on any inflatable. Check that the valve core is tight (a valve tool is included in your repair kit). Apply a drop of silicone grease to the O-ring annually. If air leaks from the valve, replace the core —They are inexpensive and available from any Vatrad dealer.
Pressure Management: Inflate your board to 12-15 PSI for optimal rigidity. In hot weather, pressure inside the board will rise —Check pressure after the board has been in the sun for an hour and release air if it exceeds 15 PSI. Never leave an over-inflated board in direct sun.
Storage: Deflate and roll your board loosely for storage —Tight rolls can crease the PVC. Store in a cool, dry place away from rodents and sharp objects.
Following these steps will keep your SUP Explorer 11 or SUP Tour 12 performing through the busiest summer season.
