Do Kiwi Clear Kayaks require special care?
The Caribe and Atlantis do require some extra care, however, the extra effort will be rewarded by years of crystal clear views of the wondrous underwater world. A few maintenance tips: • After paddling in salt water wash with mild solution of soap or lukewarm water. • Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wash and rinse well with water. • To prevent water spotting, thoroughly dry with chamois or cellulose sponge. • Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, squeegees and/or other cleaning implements that may mar the coating. • When entering, your boat take extra care to rinse your feet to remove sand and gravel so as not to scuff the interior of the hull. • To extend the life of your kayak store it indoors or keep it covered. If it is stored outside, keep the kayak upside down to prevent water from collecting within the cockpit. Also, the bottom has an additional coating of UV that will help deter damage caused by the sun. • Cover your boat with a tarp or a specially designed kayak cover. This
