I have a brand new kiteboard with lots of white in the graphics. How do I keep it nice and white and prevent it from turning yellow over time?

Depends how much UV resistance is built into the material/ colours to start with. NZ is great for turning a nice new white polyester surfboard yellow or a new white kiteboard yellowish in record time. But like I said some materials /colour pigments have really good UV resistance so will stay white for longer so you take your chances

keep it out of the sun. sounds silly but not really. obviously you cant when out on the water butt when on the beach put it in the shade or towell over it or something. don't leave it lurking out in the sund when it doesn't need to.
