The Portable Cleaning Kit for
Paddleboards ( you never knew you needed )
Why do I need to clean my board , it doesn ’ t look dirty ?
Caring for your kit !
You ’ ve purchased your paddleboard , paddle , pump , PFD , dry bag and phone case but what about a cleaning kit to help look after all . Salt water , mud , sand and even being packed away in a damp environment can cause parts of your kit to deteriorate and so cleaning and drying following each paddle is important to help look after it all .
But that ’ s not all !
Caring for the environment we paddle in !
Did you know that Invasive Non Native Species ( INNS ) such as Himalayan balsam and floating pennywort , not to mention creatures like killer shrimp , can be easily transferred between waterways by paddleboards ? These INNS clog up waterways , decrease water quality , damage natural habitat and prevent paddlers from enjoying the water as they should . You can make sure you don ’ t contribute to the spread by cleaning and drying your board after each paddle to remove even the tiniest particle that might not even be visible to the eye . INNS can even survive for weeks in damp dark conditions , could this be the inside of your paddleboard bag ?
