While your boards are meant for outdoor fun, proper storage is key when not in use. Your epoxy board, made of a beaded foam core and epoxy fiberglass skin, can suffer from delamination if left in direct sunlight for too long. This occurs when the foam core heats up, causing gas and air inside to expand, putting pressure on the fiberglass skin. To avoid damage, store your board away from prolonged sunlight exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur boards feature a foam core protected by a fiberglass epoxy shell. Excessive force can cause pressure dents, cracks, and dings. While pressure dents are minor, cracks and dings expose the core, leading to water damage and potential discoloration. Prompt repairs are vital to maintain structural integrity. Professional assistance is recommended, but if you choose to repair it yourself, use a Fiberglass-Epoxy Ding Repair Kit for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTO AVOID HEAT DAMAGE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Remember, board bags are not suitable for long-term storage or transport in direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure in board bags for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. Always store your board in a shaded area when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Keep your deck pad shielded from the sun when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. Avoid using the bubble wrap included with your shipment for outdoor transport or storage—it can overheat your board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. Never leave your board exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6. If your board needs to be in direct sunlight temporarily, use a UV cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer: We do our best to make sure all Shipping costs and quantities of products on our website are accurate but there may be some inaccuracies, we \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eapologize.
