In 1950, Hobie’s dream was born in his parents’
garage when he decided to apply his love of
woodworking to the sport of surng. Dad backed
out the Buick... Hobie carved out his very rst
surfboard...
Hobie’s business of fun had begun.

Locate the air valve(s)
on your Eclipse near
the stern.
Unscrew the cover of
the valve and make
sure the pin is “up”.

up it is in the “down”
position. To unlock the
pin from the “down”
position push down
on the pin and turn it
counterclockwise until
it pops up.
Line up the nozzle
of the pump with
the valve. Make sure
the pin is in the “up”

Inating & Deating
Your Eclipse comes
with two pumps.
The electric pump will
inate your Eclipse to
1 PSI Max. This is NOT
enough pressure to
use the Eclipse.
For higher pressure,
use the manual hand
pump.

Deating the iEclipse
Pressure Warning
Adjust the lever on
the back side of the
pump for more ecient
pumping.
Double action is for
more air volume and
lower pressure.
Single action is for less
air volume and higher
pressure.
Switch the hose on the
pump to the connec-
tion on the body of the
pump.
Switch the nozzle to
the top of the electric
pump.
Connect the nozzle to
the valve on the Eclipse

It is important to never
inate your Eclipse past the
