If students do not have the correct hardware before participating in class then we will ask that you purchase correct hardware from us before participating or come back when you have the correct hardware.
We do NOT recommend installing fabrics at home yourself or rigging from trees or swing sets. We recommend reaching out to a certified rigger and to always practice with crash mats. This in no way ensures your safety outside of the studio. We want to be clear that once the equipment is in your hands that you are responsible for what you do with it. You are responsible for your own safety and any rigging or training outside of Pura Vida is at your own risk. It is assumed that you understand improper use of the equipment can result in injury or death. Pura Vida will not be responsible for any liability or claims on any items you bought or improperly used. Make sure you train safe!
How to wash and care for fabrics
Wash on COLD delicate cycle. Front load washing machine highly recommended.
Do not put in dryer. Heat deteriorates the fabric faster. Hang drying is recommend.
Keep away from the sun for extended periods of time, UV rays can damage the fabric.
