[cool]If I am going to not be using my craft for awhile, I leave it partially deflated. This holds true for inner tubes and plastic air chambers (vinyl, butyl, urethane, etc.). Keeping a partial inflation reduces tha chance for flattening and cracking.
Some folks just don't have room in closets or small garages to keep a full or partially inflated craft. So, make sure you store them on top of boxes, etc., rather than piling heavy weight on your deflated air chambers. Less likely to compress or crack the walls.
If it holds air, it's okay. If not, you make quick trips back to shore.
