INFLATING & DEFLATING
INFLATING YOUR BOARD
Generally, the air pump’s pressure gauge will start to register a reading
after about 150 pumps (approx. 7 PSI). It should take about 250 pumps
to achieve 15 PSI.
TO INFLATE:
Attach the hose to the air pump.
Locate the air valve on the tail section of the board and open the
air valve cap.
Before connecting the hose to the board, make sure the air valve
is in the CLOSED/UP position.
Connect the hose to the board by pressing down and twisting
clockwise. Once connected, set the pump to SETTING 1 and begin
inflating.
(NOTE: The pump’s pressure gauge will not register a
reading until the board reaches 7 PSI.)
Midway through inflation, when operating the air pump becomes
more difficult, set the pump to SETTING 2, then continue
inflating.
When nearing full inflation, set the air pump to SETTING 3 and
fill to 15 PSI.
Once the board is fully inflated, disconnect the hose from the air
valve by twisting it counterclockwise. It is normal to hear a small
amount of air escape when removing the hose.

IMPORTANT: The valve wrench is for repairing valve leaks and should
never be used for deflation.
OPEN/UP POSITION PROPERLY INSERTEDALIGNED WITH NOTCH CLOSED/DOWN POSITION
Make sure the air valve is DRY.
Press firmly on the pressure release pin for 2 seconds, then twist
clockwise to lock into the OPEN/DOWN position.
Be prepared for a loud rush of air when opening the air valve.
Allow air to escape from the board for a few minutes before
folding.
2 +1 FIN CONFIGURATION
Your NAUTICAL Kids board comes equipped
with three removeable flip-lock nylon fins for
added maneuverability and control.
Make sure the fin box lock is in the OPEN/UP position.
Insert the front of the fin into the notched section of the fin box.
Rock the fin back and down until it’s in place, then set the lock
lever to the CLOSED/DOWN position.
Confirm each fin is securely attached before paddling.

FOLLOW LOCAL BOATING LAWS
IMPORTANT: Remember to check local laws and regulations regarding
the safe and proper use of this product. Always paddle with a U.S. Coast
Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD).
Never go paddleboarding in severe weather or water conditions that
might inhibit your ability to steer the board or return to shore safely.
Don’t paddle before dawn, after sunset, or in any other poor lighting
conditions that might impair visiblity.
Minors should always use this product with adult supervision.
Never use this product beyond your own skills or ability.
SAFETY FIRST!

FOLDING YOUR BOARD
IMPORTANT: Dry the board completely before tightly folding for storage.
Excess moisture may cause mildew or mold damage.
When folding the board, always start at the nose, making sure the air
valve is in the OPEN/DOWN position. Once the board is completely
folded, set the air valve to the CLOSED/UP position, then wrap the strap
around the rolled board and place it in the bag.
TO FOLD:
Once the board is completely dry and fully deflated, lay it
deck-side up on a flat surface.
Begin folding the board tightly in sections, starting from
the nose.
Continue folding until the board is completely rolled up,
then set the air valve to the CLOSED/UP position.
IMPORTANT: Avoid standing the rolled board on its side on rough
surfaces such as concrete or rocks. This can cause damage to the first
layer of the rail.
FOLDING & STORING YOUR BOARD

ATTACHING ACCESSORIES
Your board has a built-in ACTION MOUNT with M8 size thread, allowing
you to customize your board with a variety of accessories. Be sure to
ATTACH YOUR ACCESSORY AFTER INFLATING and remember to
REMOVE IT BEFORE DEFLATING.
TO OPEN: Grab the notched sides of the C-clamp,
firmly pulling it towards you.
TO CLOSE: Once the paddle is at the desired length,
apply gentle thumb pressure, pressing the
C-clamp shut. Be careful not to pinch your
fingers when adjusting paddle length!
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE SHAFT STYROFOAM
Your board comes with a 3-piece paddle designed specifically for
shorter riders. DO NOT REMOVE any styrofoam from the paddle shaft,
as it provides buoyancy and allows the paddle to float.
Always disassemble and rinse your paddle with fresh water after each
use and allow it to dry before reassembling.

IMPORTANT: Do not transport your board while inflated. Your board
is designed to be compact for convenient storage and travel. Never
transport an inflated paddle board on top of a vehicle. Due to lack
of weight when inflated, the board will travel poorly if strapped to the
roof of a moving vehicle. Damages or warping incurred by improper
transport are not covered by warranty.
When transporting the board, be sure to avoid sharp objects.
Punctures are not covered by warranty.
Keep the board clear of any heat-producing items such as camp
stoves, gas lamps, etc. Damages resulting from heat are not covered
by warranty.
TRANSPORTING YOUR BOARD

RECOMMENDED BOARD PRESSURE: 15 PSI
Your board can hold up to 25 PSI. However, the recommendation is
15 PSI as the board will remain rigid at 15 PSI and no benefit is gained
by inflating further.
If the board is inflated cold to 25 PSI and then placed in direct sunlight,
the heat will increase the pressure, causing potential overinflation and
damage to the board’s seams. This damage is not covered by warranty.
AIR PUMP MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean the air filter located under the pressure gauge. (The
gauge unscrews from the top by hand.) Over time, the pump may
naturally lose lubrication and you may need to reapply more lubricant.
We recommend using white lithium grease. To lubricate:
Never leave your paddleboard exposed to direct sunlight when out
of the water. Always store your paddleboard in the shade when
not in use. If you must expose your board to direct sunlight during
transport or temporary storage, it is safest to keep the bottom facing
up. Prolonged exposure to the sun, even while paddleboarding, may
impact the integrity of the board materials. Damage resulting from
heat is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Open the top cap of the pump and pull out the plunger.
Spread a thin layer of lubricant on the black gasket on the bottom
of the plunger, then reassemble the pump.
