About Your Surflight...

Surflight's patented technology is engineered to make this remarkably light surfboard signficantly stronger than conventional boards. Inside of its tough, ding resistant skin, the "core" is glassed with materials and resins that are stronger and superior to standard boards. The Surflight manufacturing process, which uses technologies from the ski, snowboard and aerospace industries, also adds to the strength and resiliance of the board. Ths Surflight is less likely to snap in big waves and it is harder to ding than a comparable hardboard. You should also find that Surflight are more buoyant than conventional boards.

Your Surflight is not indestructible.

Care, Storage and Transport:

• Avoid sharp or hard-edged objects. The surface of the board may be permanently dented if the board is pressed against a hard object for too long. Do not lay it against anything that is irregularly shaped unless you want to see the outline of this object impressed into your Surflight.
• Consider investing in a single-board travel bag. Use the bag for transport and storage.
• Use a wide rail saver and do not use "spaghetti" leashes to minimize rail damage. Do not wrap your leash tightly around the board for storage or transport.
• If you use roof racks, do not crank the straps tightly down against the board. This is less of a problem if you are using a padded board bag. When transporting multiple boards without a bag, do not put a Surflight on top of the stack.
• If you are not using a board bag, store your Surflight by standing it on the tail with the boattom leaned against a flat, untextured wall. Put a folded up piece of towel, t-shirt or bubble wrap on the floor under the tail.
• If you do get an impression on the surface of the Surflight, place the board in a hot car with the windows up for a few hours.
• Do not stand theboard on its nose.
• Do not turn your Surflight upside down on the floor and stand on the bottom to test or show off its flex characteristics. Some portions of the core are wafer thin and are not built to withstand this sort of force.
• Do not try to tear the rails off. You might be successful.
• Do not attempt to demonstrate the Surflight's resistance to dinging by cutting your board with a knife or stabbing it with scissors.

Here are some suggestions for repair:

• Small tears or puctures from impacts with sharp reefs may be repaired by gluing the flap with body board ding repair glue (the most available products use an acceptable urethane compound) or with contact cement. Water -based urethane putties from hardware stores may be used to smooth out the surface of repaired areas. You may paint the surface with latex acrylic spray paint.
• Do not use silicone sealants to repair dings or acetone or xylene to clean the Surflight because the substances will dissolve the outer coating. Rubbing alcohol will also slightly erode the surface but may be sparingly used in a cloth to remove stains.

If you have any questions, ideas, suggestions or problems with your Surflight, or if you just want to whine or talk story, please call any of our representatives.
