Now that your boat is assembled, please follow these instructions:
Inspect: Inspect the box for all parts. There should be a bag with 6 kayak parts, a seat, and a towel. If anything is
missing, please contact us right away at [email protected].
Keep: In case you need to return your Pakayak product, it will need to be in the original box with all the packing, so
please keep your box until you have tried your Pakayak product.
Try: We recommend that you assemble your Pakayak on a carpeted surface inside or on a soft surface (like a blanket on
the grass) and test out the fit before you try it in the water. When you test it in the water, carefully set it in the water and be
sure not to rub or drag it against any rough surfaces. If your Pakayak product is scratched or gouged, it will not be eligible
for return and refund.

latched correctly, it will spring open. Be sure the self-locking tab is engaged when clamp is latched.

How To Stash Your Bag
When cinched down, the bag fits behind your seat so it can be taken with you while paddling. Starting at the top, roll the bag
down and fold the two sides up. Using the provided cinch strap, loop through outside bag straps and cinch down. Remove or
lift the foam seat and slide behind seat back, wheels down and to one side. See how at pakayak.com/videos
