The best way to clean your kayak is with water.
However, with tougher stains you can use some
soft soap and a non-abrasive plastic brush.
The easiest way to store your kayak is to sit it on a
flat surface. If your kayak remains outdoors, you
should keep it covered and out of direct sunlight.
Do not leave any straps tightly clinched around your
kayak for long periods, especially in warm weather.
This can distort the shape of the kayak.
You may find an accumulation of water between the
hull and the deck due to paddle handling, rain, or
condensation. Future Beach kayaks are equipped
with drain plugs to remove this accumulated water.
Make sure the drain plug is closed before putting
the kayak on the water.
