BOARD CARE AND STORAGE
STX boards are made from top-quality materials in order to provide greater protection from ul-
traviolet light. However, to ensure years of flexibility and bright colours, avoid storing the board
outside or in direct sunlight.
• Before storing, hose off the board and let it dry completely to prevent mildew buildup.
• Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap and fresh
water.
• You may store the board inflated or deflated. If you deflate the board, we recommend that you
store it in the protective bag that came with the board
• If storing the board outdoors, raise it up o_ the ground and cover it with a tarp to prevent
exposure to the elements
• Hanging the board, is not recommended
• Do not store in extreme conditions (i.e. above 66°C/150°F or below -23°C/-10°F)
• Store in a clean and dry place.

FINDING AND FIXING LEAKS
Your board is made from highly durable PVC. If torn or punctured, the PVC is very easy to
repair. It can easily be fixed using the repair kit included. Read the following tips carefully to
find and fix leaks. If your board is losing pressure and it is not due to cold temperatures, check
the board for leaks, starting with the valves. It is unusual for the valve to leak, but if you do find
a leak, we can send you a replacement valve. To locate a leak, we recommend mixing soap
and water in a bottle and sprinkling it over the valve. If you see bubbles forming, make sure the
valve is tightly closed. If you continue to see problems, you will probably have to change it. You
can replace the valve yourself using the tools that come with the repair kit.
If the board is leaking air and the valves are all right, you probably have a small puncture. Small
punctures can be repaired easily and permanently. Sprinkle the board with soapy water until
you see bubbles appear and mark the position of the puncture. If you do not see any bubbles,
inflate the board to its maximum pressure and try listening for the leak. If you can identify the
area, sprinkle it with soapy water again to find the leak.
Punctures measuring less than 3 mm are simple to fix without a patch. Deflate your board, then
clean and dry the area you are repairing. Apply a small drop of glue to cover the puncture and
let it dry 12 hours.
SMALL REPAIRS
Your board comes with a standard repair kit. If you no longer have your repair kit, you can ask
one of our agents for one. Cut a piece of the repair material that is large enough to cover the
damaged area by approximately 1.5 cm, rounding the corners. Apply glue to the bottom of the
patch and around the area you are repairing. Too much glue can interfere with a proper repair.
Wait until the adhesive is tacky (2-4 minutes) and then place the patch over the damaged area.
Exert about 3-5 kg of pressure for 12 hours. After the patch has dried, apply glue around the
edges to ensure it is completely sealed (let it dry for 4 hours).
