CARTON CONTENTS:
As you open the carton, make sure the following are inside:
•Pump with pressure gauge
•Repair kit
INFLATION PROCEDURE:
1. Choose a smooth surface to assemble your Floating Deck.
2. Remove the Deck from the box and unroll it.
3. Attach pressure gauge to hose and then attach pressure gauge to pump.
4. Attach other end of hose to the inflation/deflation valve on the rear of the board as shown below.
5
5. Stand the pump on hard, level ground and start to pump. The first time you inflate the Floating
Deck will require more effort than subsequent inflations.
6. Make sure you keep your hands toward the center of the pump handles when pumping and your
feet firmly on the footrests of pump.
7. Pump time varies by user but normally takes 12 to 15 minutes.
8. Adaptors to high volume pumps available for quicker inflation.
We recommend using the Floating Deck at a pressure between 12 - 15 psi. 15 psi gives you the
best performance. The final few PSI is the key to getting the maximum performance from your
board
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR. It will result in damage to the
board, and will void all warranties. Maximum air pressure for this product is 15psi. DO NOT
INFLATE BEYOND 15PSI. Inflatable SUP boards are not warranted against over inflation.
DEFLATION PROCEDURE:
1. When you are ready to deflate your Floating Deck, unscrew the valve cover, gently push down
the central valve head.
2. Once the main pressure has decreased, push down all the way and twist the valve head. This
will lock the valve open and allow all air to escape from the board while you roll it up for storage.
3. Clean and check the board as well as all the accessories. Make sure the board is completely
dry before putting it away. Make sure that no sand or gravel remains inside the Floating Deck or
between the hull and the inner chambers. This could result in abrasion or even punctures while
storing the Floating Deck.
NOTE: If you leave your Floating Deck exposed to the hot sun, check the pressure and deflate it
slightly. The board may become over inflated and stretch the material. The ambient temperature
affects the tube’s internal pressure; a variation of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1°C) causes a variation of
the pressure in the tube of +/- 0.06psi (4mbBar)

REPAIRING SMALL PUNCTURES:
A repair kit comes with your Floating Deck. It contains repair fabric, adhesive and a valve wrench.
To make a repair, follow these steps:
1. Cut your patch to extend 2” beyond all edges of the tear. Round the corners of the patch.
Square corners are more likely to snag and lead to peeling.
2. Trace the outline of the patch on the damaged surface with a pencil.
3. Clean the surfaces.
4. Apply two even, thin coats of the adhesive provided to both surfaces. Allow the adhesive to dry
5-10 minutes, to the “tacky” not wet, stage.
5. When both of the surfaces are still tacky, you are ready to complete the patch.
6. This is a contact adhesive and once the surfaces touch you cannot reposition the patch, so
carefully align it before bonding the two surfaces together.
7. “Roll” the patch onto the board surface to prevent trapping air under the patch.
8. Thoroughly go over the surface of the patch with a roller, edge of the valve wrench or other
implement, to apply pressure and ensure a solid bond.
9. Complete curing of the bond will take approximately 24 hours. Do not put air pressure in the
chamber before that time.

STORAGE AND DECK CARE:
This board is manufactured with UV Resistant PVC to provide superior protection from ultraviolet
light. However, to ensure extra years of flexibility and bright colors, avoid storing the board where it
will be exposed to weather or in direct sunlight. Please review the following list for storage and
board care tips.
1. Before storing, hose off the Floating Deck and let it dry completely to prevent mildew buildup.
Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap and fresh
water.
2. Do not store in extreme conditions (above 150F or below -10F). Store in a clean dry place.
3. When storing the board for prolonged periods in a deflated status it is best to keep it loosely
rolled, or if possible unroll it completely. Do not leave the Floating Deck in direct sunlight as this
may cause fading over a prolonged period.
Your new Floating Deck is made from durable PVC. If a tear or puncture does occur, PVC is easy to
repair. Repairs are easily done with your included patch kit. Read the following paragraphs for leak
detection and repair tips.

AIR LEAK DETECTION:
1. If you are losing air pressure, not caused by colder temperatures, check the board for leaks,
staring with the valves. A leaking valve is rare, but if you do find a leak a replacement valve is
available to order.
2. To locate a leak, we recommend a mixing of soap and water in a spray bottle. Spray around the
valve. If you see bubbles forming, check your valve seating and base and be sure the valve
insert is screwed tight.
3. If you can continue to have problems, it is probably time to order a new valve. Contact
Customer Service for a replacement.
