COMPONENTS
OVERVIEW
Drop Stitch
High pressure recessed valve for quick
and easy inflation and deflation
EVA foot pad
Stainless steel D-ring for attaching
safety leash to paddler (optional)
Front D-ring for
securing cargo
Carry handle
Tri-fin set: one center fin
and two small side fins

Unfold the board from the packaging
Choose a flat, clean surface to unfold board. Roll out the SUP board until it is lying flat with
top side facing up.
Valve operation
Follow the instructions below for valve operation and correct inflation and deflation
procedures.
• The board’s inflation valve is located near the nose of the board. For inflation, ensure
that the centre valve pin is in the “UP” position. If it is in the “DOWN” position, press the
valve pin to “UP” position.
• For deflation, press down on the valve pin (turning is not required) ensure that the
centre valve pin is in the “DOWN” position.
Caution: Be careful of any sand or debris around the valve area when deflating as small
particles could become airborne with sudden release of the air pressure.
Note: Always lock the valve cover over the valve stem when in use. This will prevent
accidental air release and entrance of any particles into the air chambers.
ASSEMBLY

Inflation
1. Unscrew the valve cap, ensure the valve pin to
open the valve, Let the air flow naturally into
the product. Press the valve pin so it in the
“UP” position.
2. Ensure the pump hose is connected to the
“inflate” outlet on the pump.
3. Connect the pump nozzle into the valve, with
a half twist (clockwise)
4. Open the tap on the pump and start pumping
air into the board by sliding the pump piston
up and down. Inflate until you reach the
required pressure.
o Minimum 12psi
o Maximum 15psi
5. After inflation, tighten the valve cap. Only the
valve cap can ensure proper air tightness.

Fin installation
The two side fins are permanently attached to the product. Once the board is inflated, slide
in the middle fin onto the base and insert the pin to lock it into position.
Inflation tips and precautions
• DO NOT use an air compressor to inflate the board. Over inflation can cause damage
to your board.
• DO NOT over-inflate the board. A max pressure of 15 psi is adequate. The easiest
gauge of a good working pressure is to have the chambers inflated to a firm pressure
when you press on them.
• After 2 or 3 days there may be a small decrease of pressure due to temperature
change. if so, add a few pumps of air.
• Before undertaking a long paddle, inflate the board for a full 24 hours to ensure the
board is airtight. If you are seeing a consistent decrease in air pressure, refer to leak
detection in the Troubleshoot section of this guide.
• DO NOT pump to max. pressure and let the board sit out in the hot sun. If the board is
going to be in a warm environment, slightly deflate the board and allow the heat from
the sun to increase the internal pressure. When paddling, the colder temperature of the
water may cause a slight loss in chamber pressure. It is a good idea to carry a pump
with you so that you can add adjust air to the chambers if required.

Adjustable Paddle
• The paddle comes in three pieces. To assemble the paddle, hold the button in while
sliding the pieces together until they click into place. The top section of the paddle is
adjustable.
• To find the ideal height for your paddle, start by building the paddle so it is 6 inches
taller than your own height. From this point, adjust the top section up or down until the
length is comfortable for you. A longer paddle is better suited for a smooth, easier
paddling motion. A shorter paddle is good for performance or competition riding.

• Before storing, hose off the board and let it dry completely to prevent mildew build-up.
• Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap
and water.
• You may store the board inflated or deflated. If you deflate the board, we recommend
that you store it in the protective bag that came with the board.
• If storing the board outdoors, raise it up off the ground and cover it with a tarp to
prevent exposure to the sun.
• Hanging the board is not recommended.
• Do not store in extreme conditions (i.e., above 66℃"or below -23℃.
• Store in a clean and dry place.
• Do not roll up the board too tightly when storing it while deflated.
• If fins become bent, place them in boiling water until softened and then use heat (e.g.,
hairdryer) to help bend them back into position.

CLEANING & CARE
SPECIFICATIONS

Leak Detection
• If the board is losing air pressure, not caused by colder temperatures, check the board
for leaks, starting with the valves.
• A leaking valve is rare, to locate a leak, we recommend mixing 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. If you continue to have
problems, cease use immediately and contact help.Kogan.com for support.
• Replacement of the whole valve can be done using a simple tool that comes with the
replacement valve.
• If the board is losing air and the valves are good, it probably has a small puncture.
Small punctures can be repaired easily and permanently. Spray around the board until
air bubbles become visible and mark the position of the leak. If you do not find air
bubbles, inflate the board to maximum air pressure and try to listen to find the leak, if
you can narrow the area down, return with a spray bottle to identify the source of the
leak.
Repair Kit
Punctures less than 3mm in size can be repaired simply without a patch. Deflate your
board, then clean and dry the area to be repaired. Apply a small drop of glue to cover the
puncture and let it dry 12 hours.
• When using the glue, avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.
If your board needs repair, use the supplied patches in the repair kit and follow these steps:
• Deflate the board completely, lay it flat and wait for it to dry.
• Cut a patch that is 5cm larger than the tear/rip all the way around.
• Use alcohol to clean the repair area.
• Apply three coats of adhesive to the patch and the board. Wait 5 minutes in between
each coat.
• Place the patch over the tear/rip. The adhesive will react quickly, so make sure the
positioning is precise/accurate. Use the roller to ensure the patch lays flat and even.
• Wait 24 hours before re-inflating the board
