Care Instructions for Foamie & Fibreglass
Nipper & Senior Boards

  • Fibreglass requires up to two weeks to fully “cure” and achieve maximum strength. It is recommended that paddling your new board in rough seas is avoided during this initial two-week period.  Ask when receiving your board as to its full cure date.
  • Wash your board with fresh water after use as salt residue can deteriorate the finish on your board over time.
  • Dragging your board in the sand will wear the paint and fibreglass away.  If you’re a dragger ensure that your board is protected in the drag area by taping the area.
  • Your board is not a seat.  Please do not sit on it whilst it is on the sand or you will damage your board or the fin.
  • Extended periods in hot sun whilst on the beach will damage boards so it is recommended that you:
    • Lay board upside down in shade where possible
    • Wet your board every 20-30 minutes to cool it
  • On windy days secure your board down or lay it into the prevailing wind
  • Transport and store your board in protective covers wherever possible. Infront covers are available from Infront Surfcraft
  • When transporting on roof racks use “flat“ tie down straps in preference to rope or occy. Care is also required where racks have an angle capable of creating indentations on the board. Use some protection on the rigid rack to avoid damage. Tie down straps are available from Infront Surfcraft.
    PLEASE NOTE; do not tie down the boards to tightly as it’s the tie downs that make the indentations as well.
  • If your board is damaged, REMOVE FROM THE WATER IMMEDIATELY and take it to the Ding Shop at Miami for prompt specialist repairs.

By adopting good maintenance practices, your Infront Surfcraft board will always be in great condition and will maximize your performance potential. We will be happy to provide any further information.

Happy Paddling!!!
