Online timer for 123 seconds
Stay beside the board while you rinse away seawater, letting fresh water run across the rails, deck and fittings for 123 seconds. Watch where the flow carries loose sand and salt rather than walking off to another job. The short interval suits a quick rinse after bringing a surfboard, paddleboard or bodyboard home from an Australian beach.
Keeping your eyes on the rinse also means you need not rely on sound. Set the device to silent and leave its screen visible somewhere dry, away from splashes and direct spray. A bright screen, vibration or visual alert can mark the finish without disturbing anyone nearby, while you continue guiding water over the areas where salt tends to collect.
If another board needs rinsing, check the first one before restarting the countdown. Clear any sand caught around the plug, leash point or fin box, reset the device, then begin the next rinse with fresh water. Starting again for each board keeps the interval distinct and avoids guessing how much time remains after changing position or turning the tap off briefly.
Common questions
What could make the board rinse take longer than this countdown?
Dried salt, sand around the fittings or a large board may need extra attention after the alert. Keep watching the runoff and extend the rinse only where residue remains.
What if the board looks rinsed before the same countdown finishes?
Use the remaining time on rails, fin boxes and the leash point, where seawater can linger. If clean water is already running clear everywhere, turn off the tap and stop the countdown early.
