Protection and integrity while transport<\/h2><p><strong>Always pick up the TurtleSUP<\/strong> rather than dragging it along hard ground such as stones, gravel, or wet sand.<br>Dragging the product could spoil the material and shorten its lifespan.<\/p><p>After being inflated, it is recommended to <strong>be careful<\/strong> while moving, especially when placing it in water, so that abrasions or tears by accident do not occur.<\/p><h2>2. Maintenance while sailing and during stops<\/h2><p>When <strong>sailing<\/strong> and <strong>during stops<\/strong>, try to avoid rocks, sandbars, or other floating material that could damage your TurtleSUP.<br>Try not to sail in waters that are too turbulent or where there are obvious or underwater obstacles.<\/p><p>Denting or impacts may compromise the strength of the material and reduce the lifespan of the product.<\/p><h2>3. Regular maintenance<\/h2><p>Rinse your TurtleSUP clean with fresh water <strong>after each use<\/strong> and dry well to prevent deterioration due to saltwater or other impurities that would eventually deteriorate the material.<br>With these few simple precautions, you can keep your TurtleSUP in top condition for safe and enjoyable use on the navigation experience.<\/p><h2>4. Protection against sun and extreme heat<\/h2><p>Never leave your TurtleSUP in the open sun for hours when not being used.<br>Long-term exposure to UV rays and excessive heat will weaken the material and discolour it.<\/p><p>Park it in the shade or indoors in an air-conditioned environment when not being used.<\/p><p>Never leave it in hot locations, such as within parked cars subject to the sun, so it does not heat damage.<\/p><h2>5. Long-term storage<\/h2><p>If you will not be using the TurtleSUP for prolonged periods, <strong>store it safely in its carrying bag<\/strong>.<br>First, make sure that the product is clean and dry.<\/p><p>It is also a good idea <strong>to wash the carrying bag<\/strong> regularly with fresh water in order to maintain all things in their optimal condition. <\/p><p>Store your TurtleSUP in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and heat sources.<\/p><h2>6. Regular inspection<\/h2><p>Prior to every use, <strong>make sure there are no apparent damages<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Check the joints, seams, and material for wear or small tears.<\/p><p>If there is any damage, use the <strong>repair kit<\/strong> for small repairs or contact our support for large repairs.<\/p><h2>7. Securing and using accessories<\/h2><p>Make sure the <strong>canopy<\/strong> and other accessories are properly mounted before each use.<\/p><p>Check that the <strong>pins<\/strong> and <strong>joints<\/strong> are <strong>securely fastened<\/strong>, and that the canopy is sturdy, so they cannot break or become damaged during sailing.<\/p><p>Always inflate the TurtleSUP to the recommended pressure using the <strong>provided pump<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a07d174 elementor-widget-divider--view-line
