Troubleshooting
Kickboard feels too buoyant or not buoyant enough.
The kickboard is designed for consistent buoyancy. If it feels off, ensure you are gripping it correctly and that it is not waterlogged (though EVA foam is largely impermeable). The perceived buoyancy can also depend on user weight and swimming ability.
Grip holes feel uncomfortable.
Try adjusting your hand position within the holes. Ensure your hands are clean and free from lotions or oils that could make gripping slippery. For prolonged use, focus on a firm but relaxed grip.
Material shows signs of wear or degradation.
This is uncommon with proper care. Ensure the kickboard is not exposed to excessive heat or sharp objects. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to replace the unit.
