How to use the product

Should I rinse my board?

AFS recommends rinsing the board after each session and drying it out of the cover before storing it. This way, the decorations will last longer and you’ll avoid osmosis and mold.

What is the purpose of the decompression screw?

The air vent screw is located on your board. It’s very important because it regulates the pressure inside the board, which can increase with temperature or altitude. If this pressure is not regulated, it can damage your board. It is therefore crucial to open this screw when storing the board, especially in hot places such as a car or a sunny beach. If you have an automatic decompression screw, you don’t need to do anything – the board regulates itself.

How do I fit a leash rope?

Start by inserting the black rope supplied with the leash into the plug at the tail of the board. Leave a little length to prevent the leash from rubbing directly on the tail and finish off with a small knot.
