Using your Mission Kayaks Contour 480 is easy. First, make sure you've packed all your essentials like maps, GPS, and guidebooks in the designated deck areas. Then, place your extra gear in the front and rear hatches. When you're on the water, the rudder helps you steer smoothly, and the dual-channel tracking on the hull will keep your ride stable. For long trips, plan your route in advance and take breaks regularly. As for maintenance, after each use, rinse the kayak with fresh water to remove any salt, sand, or debris. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage to the hull. And always check the kayak for any signs of wear and tear before your next adventure.
