Care:
- Always store kayak in a shaded area and out of direct sunlight.
- Do not hang your kayak through the handles.
- Store your kayak on the side with the weight evenly displaced.
- Do not tie or try to secure your kayak through the handles.
- To avoid warping, ensure your kayak’s weight displacement is even during storage.
- Do not over tighten your kayak, especially in hot conditions as this can distort your kayak’s shape.
