IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FROM LOKAHI
If you do not yet practice Stand Up Paddle it is recommended to start sailing in calm water (without
wave), but also to have some knowledge of the sea. Surfers promote the practice of Stand up Paddle in
less crowded areas.
Practicing the Stand up Paddle solicits a lot your body. Practice only if you are in good health, physical
condition and if no medical condition may limit you in the practice of Stand up paddle.
You are responsible for not endangering or injuring any third party or other surfer by your actions or
equipment. You need to be aware of the risks you take and minimize them.
Before you go sailing, you need to familiarize yourself with the main features of LOKAHI equipment. For your
own safety, we ask you to carefully read the following safety instructions as well as the product description.
WARNING & TERMS OF USE
• For SUPs in the category of beach gear (less than 3,50 meters in size), navigation is limited to 300
meters from the coast.
• On the sea you will have to imperatively equip yourself with personal buoyancy equipment or a protective
suit of either a life jacket or a neoprene suit.
• You will also need a way of light detection and finally a towing device on the ocean and river (the leash
allows to fulfil these conditions).
• On the river a life jacket, some closed shoes and the wearing of a helmet are obligatory, on the other
hand the use of a leash is to be proscribed, it may be blocked in rocks or elsewhere.
YOU WISH TO GO FURTHER ?
SUP over 3.50m (11’6 and over) are no longer considered as beach gear.They are therefore allowed to
pass the band of 300m without going beyond the 2 miles of a shelter.They must, however: be in possession
of basic weapons and safety equipment (adapted to the characteristics of the boat), have two inflatable
compartments and be registered at the office of maritime affairs.

INFLATE
A
BOARD
Before starting to inflate your board, it is necessary to spread it on a flat surface (floor, table, sand, etc.)
where no object could damage. Position it flat with the side of the inflation valve facing you and follow
these instructions:
Unscrew the valve cap from the tail of the
board.
Then come and attach the pump tube, and
inflate the board to at least 15 PSI.
Press the button inside the valve and turn it
(about 90°) until it is blocked.
Once the board has inflated, close the
inflation valve with the appropriate cap.

INSTALL
A
FIN
Our Stand Up Paddle boards come with one or more fins of different sizes. Each board has its own fin
configuration. They have the ability to significantly change the reactivity and behaviour of the boards.
Their installation is imperative for the proper functioning of Stand Up Paddle boards.
This is the equipment needed to install the
fin: fin, screw and square nut.
Then come and attach the fin to the center of
the case, then slide it away from the square.
First place the screw slightly screwed into
the square nut and then insert it into the front
half of the case by sliding it away from the fin.
Finally place the square parallel to the aileron
so that the screw passes through the hole of
the aileron and comes to screw in the square.
