SEC 4: Mounting the Paddleboard
SEC
4.3 Make sure you are kneeling just behind the center point of the
board. The nose should not pop out of the water and the tail
should not dig in.
SEC
4.4 Keep your hands on either side of the board until you feel stable
enough to slowly stand up. Place your feet where your knees were
and stand up one foot at a time.

8
SEC 5: Paddling Basics
SEC
5.1 Your feet should be parallel, centered between the rails and about
hip-width distance apart. Keep your toes pointed forward with your
back straight and knees slightly bent. Your head and shoulders
should be steady and upright. Try to keep your eye level with the
horizon, and avoid staring at your feet. You should have one hand
on the top grip and the other lower on the Paddle shaft.
SEC
5.2 Push down on the top paddle grip and twist from your torso as you
paddle. Push the paddle blade completely under the surface, pull it
back to your ankle, then lift it out of the water. If you are a beginner,
keep your strokes fairly short and close to the side of the board.
Note: The angle on the blade should point
toward the front of the board
!

SEC 5: Paddling Basics
SEC
5.3 To go in a straight line, paddle about 4 or 5 strokes on one side,
then switch to the other. When you switch sides, you’ll need to
reverse hand positions.
If you wish to turn your board, simply paddle on one side until the
nose turns in the direction you want to go. Another fast way to turn
or change direction is to simply drag the paddle on one side or
paddle backwards.

Congratulations on your Lifetime®product purchase. By following the
instructions below, your new Lifetime product should provide you with years
of service and enjoyment.
Cleaning and Care
The Paddleboards are stain- and solvent-resistant. Most stains can be
removed, using a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Abrasive cleaning
materials may scratch the plastic and are not recommended. Avoid placing a
direct heat source on or near surfaces unless using a heat barrier.
Helpful Tips For Your Paddleboard
• Always store your paddleboard out of direct sunlight when not in
use. Your paddleboard is manufactured with UV-resistant color, but a
paddleboard stored in direct sunlight will begin to color fade over long
periods of time.
• Your new paddleboard is molded of high-density polyethylene resin.
Clean up with mild soap and water is recommended periodically to keep
your paddleboard looking new.
• Never drag any portion of the paddleboard over asphalt, rocky, sandy or
abrasive surfaces.
• Do not stand or sit on your paddleboard when out of the water. This can
cause damage to the board or fins.
• During regular use, it is normal to find small amounts of
water inside the paddleboard. Locate the Drain Plug
on the paddleboard as shown and carefully pull it
out of the hull. Do not remove any other parts or
plugs from the paddleboard. Tilt the board to let
the water drain out and secure the Drain Plug when
finished.
• If your paddleboard has been exposed to hot sunlight, it is
recommended to splash water on the board to cool the hot surface
before it comes in direct contact with your skin.
