Tips to make your Fliteboard Last Longer.
Tear down: Disconnect, remove the battery, and detach the foil to clean all the components. You don’t have to remove the mast if you are riding a few days back-to-back, but it’s good practice to remove the eFoil, the wings, the screws, and other components every three days of use. Turn off the Flitecell battery and wipe it down with a towel or cloth.
Clean your eFoil: Always use fresh water to wash off sand, dirt, and salt residue from the eFoil board. We recommend using a hose, but a couple of gallons of water can do the job in a pinch. Make sure to wipe down and dry the Fliteboard and grip. Use soapy water to clean the controller and safety key. Always use a bag to protect the board while transporting and storing.
Clean the eFoil Components: use a contact cleaner on all the connectors to reduce the chance of corrosion. Every couple of weeks, you can use a contact cleaner on all cables and re-apply Ref-Gel to the screws.
