What if the rubber band breaks?
When a low quality material is used to make rubber bands, they tend to break. Rubber bands usually break when they come in contact with the atmosphere. They start becoming hard and brittle. This makes them loose their strength and finally break. Rubber bands made of supreme quality rubber would not break so easily. In order to make rubber bands last longer, they should be stored well in a plastic bag where they are kept away from air.
Replace your rubber band before it breaks. Remember to change your band when it becomes weak, or is beginning to fray. Use the recommended replacement rubber band for a quality launch every time. The size of the band is ( 7″ x 1/8″ ). Although you can use any band you want. Hobie Enterprises has used many different types, and kinds of bands, but the Alliance Big Band is the band we highly recommend for maximum flight results.
