Here are some simple tips from our friends over at C-Monsta for keeping your gear in peak condition:
1. Rinse After Every Session 💦💧
Saltwater and sand can be tough on your gear. Always rinse your wetsuit, board/boat, and sails with fresh water after each session. This prevents salt and sand buildup, which can cause wear and tear.
2. Use the Right Tools 🛠️
Drying your wetsuit properly is crucial. The C-Monsta hanger is designed to help your wetsuit dry faster and more evenly, preventing mildew and bad odours. Plus, it's tough enough to handle all your gear without breaking. 💪
3. Store Properly ✅
Keep your gear out of direct sunlight when not in use. UV rays can weaken the material over time. Use a shaded area or indoor space to store your board and sails. For your wetsuit, the C-Monsta hanger ensures it hangs correctly, reducing the risk of stretching and damage.
4. Regular Inspections 👀
Check your gear regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Look for small tears in your wetsuit, frayed lines, or dings on your boat/board. Addressing these issues early can prevent bigger problems down the line.
5. Keep It Clean 🧼 🧽
Use a wetsuit shampoo occasionally to clean your wetsuit thoroughly. We would recommend the Grangers Performance Wash for a good shampoo to use. This removes any bacteria and keeps it smelling fresh. For your board and sails, a gentle wipe-down with a mild soap solution works wonders.
By following these simple steps, you can prolong the life of your gear and ensure it performs at its best every time you hit the water. 🌊
