Why Rinsing Matters (And How It Protects Your Kit)

Salt, sand and fine dust can dull finishes, damage bearings and zips, and shorten the life of fabrics and laminates. A simple freshwater rinse:

• Helps prevent corrosion on metal parts
• Keeps paintwork, seals and plastics in better condition
• Extends the usable life of boards, sails, masts and foils
• Removes abrasive grit that can scratch surfaces during transport

Camping Aquarius embraces ecological cleaning across the site and has markedly reduced water consumption. Do your part by rinsing efficiently and avoiding harsh chemicals where possible.

How to Use the Car Wash & Surf Gear Rinse Station

Below are practical, equipment-friendly steps you can follow. Always follow any posted instructions on site.

For Vehicles

1. Shake off excess sand: Gently brush mats and door sills before rinsing.
2. Rinse from top to bottom: Use a steady freshwater stream to lift off salt and sand without scrubbing grit into the paint.
3. Pay attention to wheel wells and underbody: Salt accumulates here; a thorough rinse helps inhibit corrosion.
4. Finish with glass and mirrors: Clear visibility for your next coastal drive.

For Boards, Sails and Watersports Equipment

1. De-sand first: Lightly shake or wipe away loose sand to avoid abrasion.
2. Freshwater rinse: Rinse boards, fins, masts, booms, sails, wetsuits and harnesses to remove salt.
3. Hardware focus: Rinse zips, buckles, mast-track areas, fin boxes and footstraps.
4. Drain and dry: Let gear drip-dry before storage. If you’re staying in a Mobile Home, use your furnished terrace to air-dry items out of direct midday sun.

Pro tip: A soft microfiber cloth helps lift salt residue without scratching. Pack one in your beach bag so it’s always handy.

Keep the Flow: Eco‑Smart Rinsing Habits

• Use water intentionally: Short, targeted rinses are usually enough.
• Avoid harsh detergents: Freshwater is often all you need after a single session.
• Gear triage: Rinse critical parts first (metal, zips, hardware), then broad surfaces.
• Shake off sand away from drains: It keeps the area cleaner for everyone.

Make It a Seamless Day: From Surf Session to Sparkling Clean

• Start at the Surf Center: Rent boards or book windsurfing lessons, then head straight to the rinse station after your session.
• Learn with the Surf & Sailing School: Certified instructors teach all levels in a safe, enjoyable setting.
• Check the weekly activities calendar: Find fitness classes, tournaments on the multi‑sport courts, guided cycling tours and more on our website, app or at reception.
• Traveling with your dog? After beach walks, use the hot‑water dog-shower or let them cool off safely in the dedicated dog pool.
• Top up your charge: EV drivers can plug in at the 22 kW semi‑fast station with Mennekes‑type connectors located at the entrance.
