INFLATION & DEFLATION
We strongly recommend that you inate and deate your paddleboard
once prior to rst use to familiarise yourself with the process. The
ination of your paddleboard should take 10-15 minutes but can take
a little longer.

Note: The pump included in this product is a Dual Action Pump and
can be used for ination and deation. There are two modes available
when inating your board:
• Dual Action Mode will double the amount of air being pumped
into your paddle board. Pumping will get tougher as more air is
pumped into the board. To activate Double Action Mode, close
the Switch Valve (see image below).
• Single Action Mode will reduce the amount of air being
pumped into the board. In Single Action Mode, it is easier to
pump air so we recommend that this is activated when your
board is close to full ination. To activate Single Action Mode,
remove the Switch Valve (see image below).
Dual Action Mode Single Action Mode

Ination
• Find a smooth, at and clean surface with plenty of room to
unfold your board. Lay it, unfolded, with the valve facing up and
the two small ns facing down.
• Connect the pump to the hose on the “INFLATE” Hose Adapter
(labelled on the top of the pump). (1)
• Unscrew the valve cap.
• Put the button in the “UP” position. (2)
NOTE: when inating or deating your paddleboard, push (a) and
twist (b) the valve button to open or close the valve.
• Insert valve side connector into valve and secure by turning
clockwise. (3)
• Pump until you reach the required pressure. We recommend
starting with Dual Action Mode and changing to Single Action
Mode as the pumping becomes dicult.
WARNING: The correct range for this board is 7.5 - 15PSI
(0.5-1bar). Do not exceed the maximum recommended pressure.
• Remove connector and replace valve cap when using the board (4)

ns facing down.
• Unscrew the valve cap.
• Put the button into the “DOWN” position. Your board will
automatically start to deate. Please ensure your face and body
are away from the valve. (1)
NOTE: when inating or deating your paddleboard, push (a) and
twist (b) the valve button to open or close the valve.
• Once most of the air has escaped, connect the hose to the
“DEFLATE” Hose Adapter on the pump (labelled on the top of
the pump). (2)
• Insert the valve side connector into valve and tightly secure by
turning clockwise. (3)
• Pump the remaining air out of the board using Single Action
Mode. (4)

ASSEMBLY
Removable Centre Fin
We recommend attaching the centre n if you are going to use the
board in deep waters like the sea or a lake. Avoid using the centre n
in shallow waters or white water as you risk deteriorating it.
• Lay your board face down (with the valve facing the oor) on a
smooth, at, and clean surface (preferably when inated).
• Check that the n slot is clear of any obstruction. Slide the
Centre Fin into the designated slot, ensuring that the n is
pointing to the back of the board. (1)
• Insert Lock Pin to secure the Fin. (2)

Paddle
The paddle assembly will dier slightly depending on whether you use
your board for paddle boarding or kayaking. For kayaking, please see
the KAYAK CONVERSION section below.
Your paddle is a multifunctional paddle composed of 4 sections:
1. Blade
2. Middle Shaft
3. T-bar
4. Additional Blade
• Connect the Blade (1) to the Middle Shaft (2) and then to the
T-bar (3).
• Unclip the fastener to adjust the paddle to the required size from
165 to 208cm.
We recommend the paddle height to be about 10cm higher than
rider’s height.

USER TIPS
Holding your board
Carry you board using the centre handle by holding it sideways, under
your arm, and with the ns pointing toward your body.
Note: Grip the board tightly as wind can catch it. Stand away from
others to avoid injury when the wind picks up.
Standing on your board
We recommend kneeling on your board before standing.
Slowly stand up, one foot at a time, in the centre of the board. Your
feet should be parallel to each other and in line with the centre handle
– about shoulder width apart.
Keep a slight bend in the knees and your core centred over the board.

English | 17
Holding your paddle when paddle boarding
• A common mistake when paddle boarding is to hold the paddle
incorrectly.
• Place one hand just above the middle of the paddle. Grip the top
of the paddle with your other hand (seen in picture below).
• When holding the paddle above your head, both arms should
have a slight bend.
• When using the paddle, always ensure the paddle base is
pointing forward with the Active Era logo on the blade facing
backwards.

and the inner chambers, otherwise this could result in abrasion
or even punctures to the board during storage.
• Deate your board following instructions found earlier in this
manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have any trouble with our paddleboard, here is some information
that may be able to help.
WARNING: Perform all of your repairs outside or in a well-ventilated
area. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face
protection to avoid inhaling glue vapours or contact with skin, mouth
or eyes. Keep the glue away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open
ames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Keep all repair
materials (glue, solvents, etc.) out of reach of children. Read all
WARNINGS and safety advise listed on the Paddle Board Repair Glue
(Polyurethane Resin Adhesive) container prior to use.
CAUTION: The repairs on the welds must not be glued. Only
the manufacturer of the board can perform repairs on the welds
themselves.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
My pump is not
working.
Damaged or
blocked hose.
Carefully remove
what is blocking it or
replace if damaged.
The connection
between the pump
and its hose or the
hose and the board
are not secure.
Check all
connections to
ensure they are
properly fastened.
PSI gauge is not
working.
The PSI value will
not usually register
until it reaches 7 PSI.
Continue to pump
until it reaches 7 PSI.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
My board has a hole
/ is leaking air.
Note: You can
identify where the
source of the leak
is by putting soapy
water on your board
and observing
where the bubbles
come from.
Valve is leaking. Deate the board
completely and lay
at. With one hand
hold the valve from
underneath the
board, insert the
valve tightening key
into the valve and
twist clockwise until
fully tightened and
secure.
Punctured Deck. Once you have
identied the
puncture, deate the
board completely
and lay at.
• Prepare a round
patch no less
than 3 inches or
7 centimetres in
diameter.
• Clean the patch
and the area
surrounding the leak
with alcohol.
• To contain excess
glue, use masking
tape to tape o the
area around the
patch.
• Apply 3 thin, even
coats of repair kit
adhesive to both the
surface of the board
and the patch. Wait
5 minutes between
each coat.
