Uses 13,600 stitches per inch over the usual 12,000 making the board stiffer for no added weight gain. SUP board consists of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) woven polyester drop stitch construction. Non-slip material is composed of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam. Contact adhesive consisting of poly-chloroprene polymers. Elastic bungee cord composed of both natural and manufactured rubber, poly carbonate fin-box, stainless steel retainers.La Bamba is 4.74” / 12cm deck to hull in thickness, providing unique advantages over 6” / 15cm thick boards, namely; your centre of gravity is lowered improving your ability to balance, windage is lowered making the board more manageable in winds, the board is less ‘corky’ on account of lowered volume and reduced height above the water, inflation and deflation time is reduced, folding time is reduced and easier, a light board is made possible, stowage volume is reduced and less material is used in the manufacturing. STOCK ADVICEAvoid storing in direct high UV sunlight to prolong material longevity. Rinse with fresh water to evacuate all salt crystals. When dry, store in dry, well ventilated place avoid humid heat sources. TESTSDeveloped and tested by our design team in Holland and the UK. Components have been tested to ensure they meet nominal expectations of performance within reasonable expectations of form, function and budget. MAINTENANCESUP technology has advanced over the years, however require the end-user to take good care through responsible ownership. The advantages of iSUP ownership are clearly related to convenience of transportation and storage, cost and low impact use. Rinse salt water from board after use with freshTowel or air dry before stowageDo not drag over rough surfacesStore out of strong UVDo not store in a humid placeAvoid sand falling into the valveDo not over inflateInflate within (-) 2 psi of recommendationDo not store fully inflatedReduce to 5psi if storing inflatedDo not store when wetFold neatly avoiding fin boxAFTER WINTER STORAGEIf you’re getting your iSUP out of storage after a long winter, it’s advised you take some time to do some basic maintenance checks at home.Inflate to recommended PSIIf stored deflated check fold lines are OKMake a close inspection of the seams for any leaksDo same with the valve and re-tighten using the valve spannerCheck fin box and fin fitmentCheck D-Ring connectionsCheck deck padCheck for any discolouration due to bacteriaWash and scrub board with cool soapy waterObserve for any ‘bubbling’ caused by leaksMake a note of PSI and leave for 48hrsCheck PSI and note any lose of pressureInvestigate any issues and address / fixFor minor none seam leak issues fix using repair kitSeam failure often requires professional inputConsider contacting inflatable boat repairers
