How to clean your own electric surfboard?

For those who love water sports, electric surfboards are undoubtedly an exciting invention. It combines the fun of traditional surfing with the convenience of modern technology, allowing us to swim freely on the vast water. However, no matter what kind of equipment it is, it needs to be properly maintained and cleaned to ensure its performance and extend its service life. Below, we’ll detail how to clean your own electric surfboard.

1. Preparation work

Before you start cleaning, you'll need to prepare some necessary tools and materials, including: a soft-bristled brush, detergent (non-corrosive), water, a clean rag or sponge, and a pair of rubber gloves. These tools will help you complete your cleaning job more efficiently.

2. Power outage processing

For safety reasons, always make sure the surfboard is completely powered off before cleaning it. This includes turning off the main power switch and removing the battery (if possible). Doing this will prevent you from getting an electric shock or damaging the electrical system during the cleaning process.

3. Remove surface dirt

Use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove salt, sand, and other dirt from the surface of your surfboard. Be careful to be gentle and avoid using hard-bristled or metal brushes, which can scratch the surface of the surfboard. For hard-to-remove stains, you can use a small amount of cleaner, but be sure to use a cleaner that's safe for the surfboard material and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

4. Clean the details

In addition to the surface of the surfboard, there are also some details that are easily overlooked and require special attention. For example, surfboard edges, joints, and fixtures. These areas are usually narrow and require careful cleaning using a small brush or cotton swab dipped in an appropriate amount of detergent.

5. Rinse clean

After most of the dirt has been removed, rinse the surfboard thoroughly with clean water. Make sure the water flow is gentle and avoid using powerful water flow equipment such as high-pressure water guns to avoid damaging the electronic components or battery interface of the surfboard.

6. Dry storage

After taking the surfboard out of the water, place it in a dry and ventilated place to dry naturally. You can use a clean rag or sponge to gently absorb excess water, but do not wipe hard to avoid leaving water stains or marks. The dried surfboard should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature baking.

7. Regular inspection and maintenance

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also very important to inspect and maintain your manual surfboard regularly. This includes checking whether the battery is sufficient, the connections are secure, and the components are functioning properly. If any problems or abnormalities are found, stop using it immediately and seek professional help for repairs.

All in all, cleaning your own electric powered surfboard is not a complicated task, but it does require patience and care. As long as you follow the above steps and keep paying attention to and caring for your surfboard, I believe your electric surfboard will be able to accompany you for many good times.
