Common Mistakes Owners Make

3 things that slowly destroy inflatable boats (and most owners don’t realise):

1️⃣ Leaving them fully inflated in the sun
2️⃣ Dragging instead of lifting
3️⃣ Using the wrong glue for repairs

🔧 How to Store an Inflatable Properly

Correct storage makes a big difference to the life of an inflatable boat or SUP.

✔️ Deflate slightly — don’t store fully inflated
✔️ Keep out of direct sunlight and heat
✔️ Store clean and completely dry
✔️ Avoid sharp folds or tight creases
✔️ Keep away from fuels, oils and chemicals
✔️ Don’t store heavy items on top

Heat and pressure are the biggest causes of seam and valve failure. A few simple steps can prevent costly repairs later.

If you’re unsure how to store your inflatable or notice air loss, get it checked early.

🔧 SUP Inspection – Seam Issue Identified

This stand-up paddleboard came in with a loss of pressure.

During inspection and testing, we identified lifting along the seams as the cause. It’s not always visible until the board is properly checked.

We’ll be carrying out the repair and putting it back together properly.
Follow along to see it repaired, reassembled and ready for the water.

A common cause of inflatable damage we see regularly:

Leaving inflatables fully inflated in direct sunlight ☀️

Heat increases internal pressure, placing stress on seams, valves and previous repairs — even on well-built boats.

Regular pressure checks can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your inflatable.
