Keeping my ride clean

sushiking · Keeping my ride clean

My new Mermaid is a mess. Maybe a stupid question, but what do y'all do to clean top and bottom? I used a little windex on the bottom, but didn't know if that might have some long term effect on the clearcoat/fiber. What about the grip tape...any way to keep that clean?

in the past on all my boards i simply use a scrubbing brush and a little warm water (I try not to use soap)...then towel it off and leave it in the sun for a little bit.

the cack i seem to accumulate on my griptape is squashed berries and stuff that my back foot has trodden on when pushing.

I use a damp microfiber towel on the bottom and a sanding belt cleaner on the grip.

I just started using a shop vac with a brush attachment to clean the grip tape. It works pretty well.

You just brush the heck out of the tape, and the strong vacuum sucks all the dust and particles up.

For the bottom, I use some of those pre-moistened cleaning wipes. I clean after every ride.
