Remove fins before you store your kayak. 2. Completely dry your kayak/boat BEFORE you store it. 3. Don’t store your inflatable kayak/boat in direct sunlight. This will result in deterioration in the long run and shorten the life of your board. UV radiation is harsh and can particularly damage PVC when exposed repeatedly day after day. 4. Store your inflatable kayak/boat in the right temperature range. Anywhere between 5-40 degrees Celsius (40-110 degrees Fahrenheit) is recommended. Again, inflatable kayak/boat are durable, but extreme conditions aren’t ideal for any sporting equipment. Avoid freezing cold or baking hot conditions. 5. You can store your kayak/boat both deflated or inflated, whichever suits your space. a) When the kayak/boat is stored inflated, resist the temptation to stack things or place heavy objects on it. Also, if you’re storing your kayak/boat inflated for the long-term, it’s best to release a few PSI just in case your storage area gets too warm. That helps to prevent any damage to the kayak/boat from the air inside expanding beyond the desired PSI. b) If you store your kayak/boat deflated, keep it lying flat. When storing your kayak/boat deflated, it’s a great idea to use your kayak/boat bag to protect it from abrasions. Make sure it’s rolled or folded loosely. Then store your kayak/boat in it’s bag so it’s laying on its side rather than upright or standing on the edges of the kayak/boat where pressure points could form.
