Winter storage done wrong can permanently damage your eFoil. Done right, your board and battery will be in perfect condition when spring arrives. This episode covers everything you need to do before putting your electric surfboard away for the season.

What this episode covers:

  • Cleaning before storage: how to rinse saltwater from boards, connectors, and all internal cavities
  • Why complete drying — minimum 24 hours with all compartments open — is non-negotiable
  • Battery storage: why 30–60% charge is the recommended level for lithium-ion cells during off-season
  • Critical rule: never charge batteries below 10°C — the single most common and costly winter mistake
  • Storage temperature: 15–28°C ideal; unheated garages and outdoor sheds are too cold
  • Why batteries lose 50–75% charge over winter and require checking every 4 weeks
  • Manufacturer recommendations: Aerofoils, Fliteboard, Lift Foils, Radinn, EWAKE, ScubaJet compared
  • How to clean and protect electrical contacts with contact cleaner and seawater-resistant grease

Fliteboard recommends 22–28°C and 50–75% discharge · Aerofoils has an integrated discharge function · Lift Foils warns against cold outdoor storage · ScubaJet recommends recharging every two months.
