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?
