IMPORTANT
Never leave the paddleboard exposed to direct sunlight when out of
water for an extended period of time. Try to keep in the shade when not
in the water. If you must expose your board to direct sunlight during
transport or temporary storage, it is best to keep the bottom facing up.
Glide boards can hold up to 25 PSI, however, the recommended PSI is
12-14 PSI as the board will remain rigid at 14 PSI and no further benefit
is gained when inflating over 14 PSI.
If inflated cold to 25 PSI, and then the board is placed in direct sunlight
pressure will increase from the heat causing potential over inflation and
damage to the seams - this is not covered by warranty.
Over time, the pump may naturally lose lubrication and you may need to
reapply. We reccommend white lithium grease. To lubricate, unscrew the
top and pull out plungers and spread a thin layer of lubricant on the black
gasket on the bottom of each plunger and then reassemble. Also, regularly
clean the air filter located under the pressure gauge. The gauge unscrews
from the top by hand.
Sun, sand and saltwater will degrade any man-made material over time.
Rinse off sand and saltwater deposits from your paddle board with fresh
water and store in a cool, dry enviorment after each use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DO NOT LEAVE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Damage resulting from heat and UV is not covered by manufacturer's
warranty!
RECCOMENDED PRESSURE 12-14 PSI
PUMP MAINTENANCE
BOARD MAINTENANCE

Keep the board clear of any heat producing items
such as camp stoves, propane lamps, etc.
Damages resulting from heat are not covered
by the manufacturer's warranty! Allow the
board to completely dry before tightly rolling for
packing. Excess moisture may cause mildew or
mold damage.
When rolling the board, make sure the valve is
open and start at the nose. Roll in a tight straight
roll. Then close the valve and wrap the strap
around your roll.
AVOID standing the rolled board up on its side on
rough services such as concrete or rocks. This
can cause damage to the first layer of your rail.
When transporting the board, be sure to clear any
sharp objects.
Punctures are not covered by the manufacturer's
warranty!
TRANSPORT GUIDELINES
TIPS FOR TRANSPORTING

IMPORTANT
NEVER ALLOW MINORS TO USE THIS BOARD
WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION.
NEVER CONSUME ALCOHOL OR ANY OTHER
SUBSTANCE THAT MAY IMPAIR YOUR
COORDINATION, JUDGEMENT, OR ABILITY TO
SAFELY PADDLE THE BOARD.
ALWAYS WEAR A COAST GUARD APPROVED
PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD).
NEVER GO PADDLE-BOARDING IN SEVERE
WEATHER OR WATER CONDITIONS THAT
MIGHT AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO STEER THE
BOARD OR RETURN TO SHORE.
WATER SAFETY GUIDELINES
NEVER USE THIS BOARD BEYOND YOUR
SKILLS OR ABILITY.
CHECK LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS
REGARDING PROPER AND SAFE USE OF
THIS PRODUCT.

Make sure the inner valve is disengaged in the "UP" position
Connect air hose to air valve
Set Action Control setting on pump to the right and begin
pumping
Once pumping becomes difficult, switch the control to the left
Inflate board to 12-14 PSI
Disconnect air hose from valve. Inner valve will prevent air from
escaping when disengaged in the "UP" position
Generally, the pressure gauge will start to register a pressure
reading after about 150 pumps. The board should take about 250 pumps
to achieve 14 PSI. To start pumping make sure the action control setting is set to the 1
position on the pump. At approximately 100 pumps the handle will become more difficult
to lift up, at this point switch the action control setting to the 2 position and continue
pumping. Continue pumping until the desired PSI is achieved.
BOARD DEFLATION
Open valve cover.
Depress inner valve and twist to lock in the open or "down" position.
Allow air to freely escape board
Beginning at the nose, tightly roll up board to force remaining air through
the air valve
INFLATING AND DEFLATING BOARD
BOARD INFLATION
INNER VALVE POSITIONING
The Inner valve will prevent air from escaping when
disengaged ("UP" position)
We have an instructional video here

FIN INSTALLATION
We have a simple fin installation walkthrough video - here

IMPORTANT
For convenience, the paddle can be separated
into 3 smaller sections and has an adjustable
locking mechanism for an extendable handle.
ADJUSTABLE TRAVEL PADDLE
PADDLE ASSEMBLY
We recommend rinsing the paddle with
fresh water after every use and removing
upper shaft to dry.

REPAIR KIT CONTENTS AND APPLICATION
The board comes with equipped with an
emergency repair kit for small leaks and/or tears
including a valve wrench, glue and repair
patches.
REPAIRING LEAKS AND TEARS
THE REPAIR KIT
The wrench included in the repair kit should ONLY be used for leaking valves. Should you
hear air escaping around the edge of the valve please ONLY use to tighten by turning
clockwise and ONLY when the board is fully inflated. It should not be used to deflate your
board. Improper use of this tool will void the 2 year warranty.
DIRECTIONS FOR REPAIR KIT USE
Completely deflate the paddle board
Throughly clean the surface around the leak and the matte side of the patch
with rubbing alcohol. Both surfaces must be free of moisture, oil and debris.
Apply glue carefully and evenly to both paddle board surface and matte side
of the patch.
Apply thin layer around the edge of patch to seal the patch to the board.
Allow glue to dry for 24 hours before using the paddle board.

FAQS
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY BOARD?
You can store your board in a variety of ways.
It is ok to leave your board inflated for long
periods of time, just be sure to bleed some air
out of the board (recommended pressure 12
psi) if it will be in the sun or heat. Sun will
eventually damage the paddleboard if it is left
out for long periods of time. It is also ok to
store your board deflated, rolled and in the
bag. Storing the board in cold temperatures,
like an unheated garage, will not damage the
board.
MY PADDLEBOARD HAS A SLOW LEAK,
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Check that the inflation valve is tight. The vast
majority of slow leaks are fixed by using the
included valve wrench to tighten the inflation valve.
Take care to not over-tighten the valve.
