If you're thinking about getting an inflatable paddle board but wondering whether it’s harder to stand on compared to a hard board, you're not alone. This is one of the most common questions from first-time paddlers.
Inflatable paddle boards, especially those from Glide, are a fantastic investment for enthusiasts of water sports, thanks to their versatility and ease of storage. However, properly storing your inflatable SUP is crucial to maintaining its performance and extending its lifespan. Here, we guide you through the best practices for storing your Glide inflatable paddle board, whether for short bursts or longer periods. Key Highlights: Deciding Between Inflation and Deflation: For long-term storage, it's advisable to deflate your board to preserve the PVC material and reduce required space. The Deflation Process: Thoroughly clean and dry your board before deflating. Remove all accessories to prevent mold and mildew. Proper Rolling and Storing Techniques: Roll your board tightly from the nose and store it in a Glide carry bag to protect its shape and integrity. Choosing the Right Storage Location: Store your deflated board in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent damage. Short-Term Storage Solutions: If storing inflated for short periods, slightly deflate in hot conditions to accommodate air expansion and avoid direct sunlight.
