Care & Handling Guide

Proper care and handling of your REFLEKT bodyboard is necessary in order to extend its lifetime to its full potential. Please adhere to the following guidelines to get the most out of your bodyboard: 

GENERAL CARE

After each use make sure to rinse your board with fresh water to remove dirt, sand and salt residue; wipe down with a clean cloth or towel and store away from direct sunlight, in a cool, dry location. Do not use solvents or cleaners on your board.

Ensure board is rinsed with fresh water, wiped clean and dry before storing in board bag or board sock.

Due to nature of materials used in the construction of bodyboards in general, there will be some water absorption, which is normal and not a defect. This water typically drains after each use.

When riding your board, we recommend using a bodyboard leash and staying away from sharp reef and rocky shorelines as the skins may be compromised if impact occurs. Do not use your board in questionable conditions, shore-break, or extremely shallow conditions as this will void your warranty and may cause bodily harm.

Bodyboards are not meant for use as a lifesaving device or meant for use as a rental board/surf school board.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING

When exposed to high temperatures and/or direct sunlight for extended periods of time beyond ordinary use, the board may bubble and/or fade in color. Boards are required to be stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight or heat. Do not leave in car for extended periods of time.

AVOID IMPACTS

Impacts may damage your board depending on the severity. It is important that all impacts to the board be avoided.

TRANSPORTING

When transporting your board, avoid placing heavy items on or near your board in order to avoid damage, dents or deformation.
