DIRECT SUNLIGHT MAY DESTROY YOUR
PADDLE BOARD.
Even mild sunlight can damage a board if
left in the direct sunlight for a period of time.
On a mild day at 21°C (mid-to-high 70°F), the
inside of a car can reach 77°C (170° F).
Always 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 safest to keep the
white (bottom) facing up.
Max pressure is 12 psi. If inated cold to 12
psi, pressure will increase in the sun causing
potential damage to seams.
Damage resulting from heat is not covered
by manufacturer’s warranty!
Never leave paddle board exposed to
direct sunlight when out of the water.
Max pressure is 12 psi.
Sun, sand and saltwater will degrade
any man-made material over time.
Rinse o sand and saltwater deposits
from your paddle board with
fresh water and store in a cool, dry
environment after each use.
BOARD MAINTENANCE
Please be sure that before and during
use, the pump is fully lubricated with oil.
To lubricate, open the top and spread a
thin layer of oil or grease on the gasket
and tube.
Regularly clean the air filter located
inside the top.

SECTION 6
CARRY & TRANSPORT GUIDELINES
PUFFER is designed to compact for
convenient storage & travel. Due to
a lack of weight when inated, they
will travel poorly if strapped to a
vehicle rooftop. Damages incurred by
improper transport are not covered
by the manufacturer’s warranty!
When transporting PUFFER, be
sure to clear any sharp objects.
Punctures are not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty!
Keep PUFFER 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 PUFFER to completely dry before
tightly rolling for packing. Excess
moisture may cause mildew and/or
mold damage.
The board tote included with PUFFER
is intended for PUFFER and PUFFER
accessories only. Additional items
added to the board tote may exceed
weight capacity and result in damages
to the tote, shoulder straps and/or carry
handle.
For maximum comfort when carrying
PUFFERinboardtote, wearbothshoulder
straps to evenly distribute the carry
weight. Tighten the shoulder straps to
reduce slack and to avoid tote contents
from resting on the back of the legs.
When completely packed, PUFFER
and PUFFER accessories can get rather
heavy. Make sure to never carry more
than is comfortable for you in one trip.
Always use proper lifting and carrying
techniques to avoid straining muscles.
TIPS FOR TRANSPORTING TIPS FOR CARRYING
Do not transport an inated
paddle board on top of a vehicle.
