Storage Conditions

The most important aspect of storing an inflated paddleboard is the environment in which it is stored. 

Exposure to extreme temperatures, particularly heat, can be detrimental. The air inside expands when a paddle board is left in a hot environment. 

This increase in pressure can strain the seams and material and damage your paddleboard.

The storage area must be cool, dry and away from direct sunlight. A suitable storage area could be a garage, shed, or a space inside your home.

Inflation Levels

While it’s convenient to leave your board fully inflated (especially if you’re planning another paddling session soon), it’s important to adjust the air pressure. 

Keeping the board fully inflated in cooler storage areas shouldn’t pose a problem. However, slightly deflating the board to reduce the pressure in warm and hot areas can prevent overinflation and the associated risks. 

This doesn’t mean you must deflate it completely; reducing the PSI to below its maximum capacity will be sufficient.

Cleanliness and Dryness

Before storing your paddle board, always ensure it is clean and dry. Saltwater, dirt, and debris will degrade the material over time.

A gentle rinse with fresh water and thorough drying with a soft towel will prevent the buildup of mould and mildew, which can damage the board’s surface.

Considering Space and Convenience

An inflated paddle board will take up considerable space. Assess your available storage area to ensure it can accommodate the board without bending or pressing against sharp objects. 

This not only helps in maintaining the shape of the board but also prevents accidental punctures or abrasions.

Summary

Pay attention to storage conditions inflation levels, performing regular cleaning and dryness to ensure leaving your inflatable paddle board inflated is okay.
