Looking After Your Paddle
To get maximum enjoyment and life out of your ZRE paddle we recommend you follow some simple steps:
1) Always keep your paddle in a bag when not being used. Don't leave it on the floor - someone WILL stand on it - this won't be a warranty claim.
2) Take care not to lean on your paddle when in shallow water or on rocks - this may place excessive stress on the paddle and cause damage.
3) Initial use - when you first get your paddle you may want to experiment with longer lengths before finally fixing the grip into the shaft. If you do this be aware that damage caused to the grip is not covered under warranty. The grip is designed to fit quite deep within the shaft and is not designed to withstand the friction caused by a loose attachment to the shaft - for example when using tape to hold it in. If you do use tape, just try this for a short period of time to minimise the chance of damaging the grip.
4) The edges of the blade can damage your board (or you), especially if you have used the paddle for a while and caused some minor damage to the blade edge. You can easily fix problems like this by gently sanding down the affected area on the blade. By looking carefully at the blade you can see the strip of carbon that goes around the edge - this can safely be sanded into. Do not sand beyond this strip.
5) Damaged paddles should be taken to your retailer for assessment, minor damage can be fixed - usually using epoxy resin to fill dings on the blade face or blade edge.
