MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Maintenance
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.
Storage
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, espe-

kayak.
Warning
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

To empty the water from your kayak,
remove the drain plug and prop up the
kayak vertically on its stern
