I'm a clean freak no doubt but my Native kayak setup is an investment that I want to keep in prime shape for years to come.

Clean Freak
I get a lot of grief any time I post up a photo carefully washing my Native Ultimate kayak but after a muddy redfish trip earlier in the week, my first priority upon getting home was to give the kayak a deep clean bath. I get more than a little weirded out about saltwater sitting on any surface that it might breakdown.
Is the kayak dirty enough for a bath? Yes...I think so.
Warm soapy water and a rinse gets everything clean.
Pluff mud was on everything from the bottom of the kayak to the paddle to the stake out pole to the bow skirt. Each piece got washed and left out to air dry.

Sure, you might be a clean freak, but I hear salt water can be quite a problem. I fished in salt water once about 10 years ago. I only fished for about 5 minutes then called it a night. It took me longer to wash the gear in the shower of the motel room than it did to pretend that I knew how to fish the salt.
Keep it clean, and it will last hopefully much longer than expected!
one person's definition of "clean freak" is another's definition of "standard maintenance". keep being a clean freak until you win the Lotto :)
GFP/Robin...I agree. Saltwater can seriously tear down things and I'm trying to keep my Native in excellent shape for as long as possible.
