RAVE Sports Performance 3 Piece Aluminum SUP Paddle - Manual (Page 9)

Cleaning and Storage
• Use warm soapy water and clean with sponge or soft brush.
• To remove scuffs from your paddleboard, use the rough side of a basic sponge (Do Not Use Steel
Wool), dip it in warm soapy water then scrub in a circular motion until all marks are removed (Follow by
rinsing).
• When not being used, we recommend that you store it in a covered, shaded area. This will help protect
it against ultraviolet (UV) rays and extend the life of the product.
• Secure the product to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
• Do not leave board in direct sunlight for long periods of time when not in use.
Repairs
• To repair cracks or breakage of the board’s fiberglass surface use marine resin epoxy to patch and fill
the damaged area. (Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using and applying any
product). Use epoxy resin repair products only. Do not use polyester resins or other fillers.
• To repair a deck pad bubble, puncture it with a pin and press the air out of it until flat. To repair a tear in
the deck pad make sure it is dry then dab some super glue under the damaged area and press it down
until secured.
Transportation
When transporting your equipment make sure to use proper tie down straps to secure your board. (Do Not
Use Ratchet Straps) To purchase proper straps and pads visit www.ravesup.com.
When placing a board on your car flip it upside down with the deck pad and curvature of the board facing
down towards the roof of the car. The tip or the tail of the board may face forward but it is preferred to have
the tail facing forward in most instances.
Registration
Check with your local licensing bureau regarding registration requirements, if any. The serial number is
located at the back of the board, usually adjacent to the fin box or the rear leash plug.
