Winter Care Guide for Your Boost Fin
As winter approaches, it’s essential to take special care of your Boost Fin to ensure it remains in peak condition for the next season of fun on the water.
Proper maintenance not only extends the life of your fin and especially battery but also ensures optimal performance when you’re ready to hit the waves again.
Here are some key tips to help you keep your Boost Fin in great shape during the colder months:
Charge the Battery Monthly
To maintain the health of your Boost Fin’s battery, it’s crucial to charge it at least once a month during the winter. Even if you’re not using the fin, a regular charge helps prevent the battery from draining completely and keeps it in optimal condition.
Clean Before Storing
Before putting your Boost Fin away for the winter, give it a thorough cleaning. Rinse off any saltwater, sand, or debris with fresh water. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the surface and ensure all connections are clean and free from corrosion.

Store in a Dry Place
Moisture is one of the biggest enemies of electronic devices, including your Boost Fin. Always store your fin in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Avoid places like basements or garages that may be prone to humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations. A dedicated storage box or bag can provide extra protection against dust and moisture.
Check for Damage
Take a moment to inspect your Boost Fin for any signs of wear or damage before storing it. Look for cracks, loose parts, or corrosion on electrical components. Addressing any issues immediately can save you time and money later on.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures
While storing your Boost Fin, keep it away from extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving it in a car during cold weather or exposing it to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Both heat and cold can negatively impact the battery and overall functionality of your fin.
Simple, but regular maintenance and proper storage during winter months will not only extend the life of your fin but also enhance your overall experience on the water.
Happy winterizing!🙂
