PRODUCT CARE & MAINTENANCE

Inflatables like Slide Island are susceptible to damage from excessive sun, heat, dirt, mold, mildew, or abrasion. Following the care, maintenance, and repair recommendations below will allow you to enjoy your Slide Island for many years to come.

CLEANING

It’s a good idea to give slide island a thorough fresh water rinse after each use to remove any dirt, debris or salt water. For heavier soiling wash with soap and water or use an Inflatable Boat Cleaner. Be sure to thoroughly rinse off any soaps or cleaners with fresh water.

UV PROTECTION:
Slide Island materials are UV resistant, but long term exposure to the UV rays from the sun can still cause material degradation over time. Treatment with 303 Aerospace Protectant a couple of times per year can go a long way to prevent damage. When Slide Island is not in use, place it in the shade or store it in the included carry case.

STORAGE:
Store Slide Island in the included carry bag by folding it in thirds lengthwise, then folding widthwise with the first fold located at top of foam ladder. Lay out all four flaps of the carry bag and set the folded Slide Island in the middle. Fold over one set of flaps, do up the buckles, then repeat with the second set of flaps.

Store in a cool dry place, especially when storing for an extended period of time. If slide Island is stored damp, mold or mildew can grow and damage the materials. Do not expose Slide Island to excessive heat for extended periods.

HANDLING:
Slide Island is made from rugged PVC coated fabric that is abrasion and puncture resistant, but excessive wear or sharp objects can damage the material and result in leaks. Avoid dragging Slide Island on rough surfaces like pavement, and keep it away from sharp objects. Do not leave attached to a dock or boat overnight where wave action can result in abrasion from a hard object or surface.

USE:
On hot, sunny days periodically release a little bit of air to prevent excessive pressure from damaging the valve or seams. Do not use while wearing clothing with sharp buckles or zippers that my damage the surface of Slide Island.

PRODUCT REPAIR WITH INCLUDED KIT

Slide Island will very gradually lose air when left inflated for extended periods. This is normal and not a cause for concern. If you suspect a leak, spray Slide Island with a soap and water solution and look for any bubbles indicating the location of a leak. Leaks can be easily patched using the included repair kit according to the directions below:

  • Step 1 – Deflate Slide Island
  • Step 2 – Clean and completely dry the area surrounding the leak
  • Step 3 -Apply a thin layer of glue to an area slightly larger than the size of the patch as well as to the patch itself. Due to shipping restrictions, glue is not included with your repair kit. Email info@lakesurf.com to get a tube of glue shipped to you free of charge.
  • Step 4 – Let dry for 20 minutes and apply a second coat of glue to Slide Island and the patch.
  • Step 5 -Let dry for another 20 minutes.
  • Step 6-Apply a third, and final, coat of adhesive to Slide Island and the patch and allow to dry for 3-5 minutes (preferably 3 minutes). If beyond this time, reactivate by applying an additional coat of adhesive. Bond when tacky.
  • Step 7 – Carefully align the patch and press both surfaces together.
  • Step 8- Apply pressure to the entire glued surface using a roller if available. Roll every millimeter of patch in multiple directions, working from the inside to the outside of the patch.
  • Step 9- Allow to cure for a full 24 hours before rolling up or inflating.

Sometimes air can leak from the valve when debris becomes lodged on the valve’s sealing surfaces. A few quick bursts of air from depressing the valve stem will typically remove any blockages. If an air leak persists, reach out to Lakesurf customer care for assistance by emailing info@lakesurf.com.
