Board Care.

Ok, so here’s the lowdown, We took the time to make the best qcd board we could, so you can enjoy the ride as long as possible, all we ask, is you have a quick read through this and care for your board, the way we do.

1. Heat is your boards No.1 enemy. To avoid warping on the boards rocker and blistering of the slick keep it out of the heat and direct sunlight including hot places like your board cover, on hot sand, or in the boot of the car as temperatures can reach over 60oc.
2. Shade is your boards best friend, so use it.
3. When your board has been in the heat it is more prone to creasing so before you use it place it in the water to cool down.
4. When duck diving you must place your knee on the deck of the board, DO NOT duck dive with your knee in the crest of the tail, this will damage your slick.
5. This is a bodyboard not a skim board. Avoid all contact with the abrasive substance, we call sand.
6. On all models marked Carbon Fibre Stringer – Single the leash plug must be inserted 10cm to the left/right of the centre to avoid contact with the stringer. On all models marked Carbon Fibre Stringer – Double, place plug in centre to avoid contact with stringer.
7. Try and use a water sealant like spongerez when you plug your board. If you are not sure, ask someone who is.
8. Always wash your board in fresh water after each session.
9. Avoid impact on board nose and tail edges, or with sharp objects.
10. Make sure you read and understand all warranty conditions and terms so that we can give you the best service possible.
