Mallorca may look calm during the winter months, but anyone who lives here year-round knows how harsh the season actually is on watersports equipment. Humidity settles everywhere, temperatures drop more than expected, and the salt in the air never fully disappears. For electric water toys and battery-powered equipment —eFoils, Seabobs, Sublue scooters, seascooters, and inflatable docks— these conditions can cause silent damage that only becomes visible once spring arrives.
Proper winter maintenance isn’t just a recommendation; it’s what protects your equipment from long-term wear and ensures everything is ready to perform when the season starts again.
1. Humidity and Salt Are Constant Threats in Mallorca
Even when water toys are no longer in use, Mallorca’s winter climate continues to affect them. High humidity can infiltrate battery housings, electronic components, and seals, while salt residue attracts moisture and accelerates corrosion.
This leads to common winter-related issues such as:
- corrosion on internal metal parts
- oxidation in electronic connections
- moisture buildup inside housings
- deterioration of O-rings and sealing surfaces
These problems often remain hidden during the colder months and only surface when owners try to restart their equipment in March or April.
2. Long Periods of Inactivity Can Damage High-Tech Equipment
Water toys are designed for regular use. When they sit unused for months, certain components suffer:
- Lithium batteries may lose capacity or develop cell damage
- Internal seals can dry out or deform
- Electronic systems become more vulnerable to moisture
- Motors and moving parts may show signs of stiffness or early corrosion
Even well-maintained units can be affected simply by being stored in damp garages, on boats, or in unventilated storage areas.
3. Inflatable Platforms Require the Right Winter Conditions
Floating platforms —such as HEX platforms, Yachtbeach modules, and drop-stitch docks— are particularly sensitive to humidity and temperature changes.
Incorrect storage can cause:
- deformation of EVA foam
- weakening of drop-stitch fibers
- damage to valves
- mold or moisture marks
They must be rinsed, fully dried, deflated correctly, and stored in a dry, controlled environment to prevent structural damage.
4. Why Professional Winterizing Makes a Difference
