Part 2: Mounting the Paddleboard
To mount your paddleboard, start in at least knee-deep water. Stand along-
side the board and place your paddle across the deck of the paddleboard.
Paddleboard Basics
Before you begin, make sure your paddle is 8-10 inches taller than you. By
pushing the pins and sliding the paddle shaft, you can adjust your paddle
to the desired height.
Hold the board by the rails and push yourself up into a kneeling position.
Part 1: Paddle Adjustment

XSECTION 1
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.
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.
PART 2: MOUNTING THE PADDLEBOARD (CONTINUED)

6
XSECTION 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.
Keep in mind that while you paddle, the angle blade should point toward
the front of the board
Part 3: Proper Stance

7
XSECTION 1
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.
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.

XSECTION 1 SEC 4: Paddling Basics
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
Lifetime®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 or any 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. Carefully remove the black drain plug at the front of
the paddleboard and tilt the board to let the water drain out. 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.
