Online timer for 41 seconds
While keeping your eyes on the sand, fins and people moving around you, use 41 seconds to rinse the salt and grit from your board after a Raglan surf. Work the water along the rails, across the deck and around the fin boxes without letting the running countdown distract you from handling the board securely.
As you rinse and check each section, the signal can easily disappear into headphones without you noticing. Keep the phone where the screen remains visible from the tap, or leave one ear uncovered, so you can follow the countdown while concentrating on stubborn sand near the leash plug rather than waiting for a sound you may miss.
When the rinse is nearly done, use the remaining moments to clear water from the fin area and give the deck a quick visual check. Leave a small buffer after the signal before packing the board or heading to the next part of your day; that spare time covers turning off the tap, moving out of someone else’s way and gathering your leash and headphones.
Common questions
What can make this Raglan board rinse take longer than the set time?
Sand caught around the fins or leash plug can slow the rinse, especially when you are also watching people and gear nearby. Let the countdown mark the main wash, then finish any visibly gritty section without rushing.
What if the board is clean before the countdown ends?
Use the remaining moments to check the rails and fin boxes for trapped grit. If they are already clear, turn off the water and keep the spare time as a buffer before packing up.
