The I-FLY inflatable foil boards are lightweight and packable with
a large carbon foil plate on the bottom that provides a sti and reactive foiling
performance that you can take anywhere. These boards come with tri-footstrap
inserts that allow for limitless progression along with a leash attachment and 3⁄4
length deck pad. The large carbon track plate provides a direct board-to-foil feel
while the lightweight nature of the inflatable results in minimal swing weight in the
nose. Carrying your kit in and out of the water has never been easier with both top
and bottom carry handles.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INFLATION / DEFLATION
Inflate your board with the included pump or any pump designed for inflatable boats
and other low pressure inflatables. These types of pumps will have a hose and
adapters to fit the valve on this board. Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold
your board on.
INFLATION (SEE DRAWING ABOVE)
Remove the valve cover. Ensure the valve button is in the up position. This will
ensure air will not rush out when you remove the pump hose. Attach the pump hose
and twist it tight in the valve. Pump your board to the proper pressure. Your pump
is equipped with a one-way valve feature that aids in pumping your board to full
pressure. Start pumping with the valve plug inserted so you are pumping on the
up and downstroke. When pumping becomes dicult, remove the valve plug and
continue. Recommended air pressure is 15-18 PSI. Do not exceed 18 PSI (1 bar, 1240
mbar). Once your board is inflated, remove the hose and reattach the valve cap. Twist
it tight to ensure a proper seal.
DEFLATION (SEE PHOTOS ON RIGHT)
Remove the valve cap. Press in on the valve button until it locks in the down position.
You can then push out the air and fold your board for storage.

If you leave your board exposed to the hot sun, check the pressure and
deflate it slightly. Otherwise the board may become over inflated and
stretch the material. The ambient temperature aects the tube’s internal
pressure: a variation of 1º C / 1.8º F causes a variation of the pressure in
the tube of +/- mBar (0.06 psi)
ATTACHING FOIL TO BOARD
1. To attach your fully assembled foil to your board, place your board upside down
and slide the four female pieces of your mounting hardware into slots in the tracks
of your board, two on each side.
2. Carefully place your foil over the mounting track so the front hole pattern in the
pedestal line up with the mounting hardware. Be extra cautious with your foil in
this position; components are fragile and can damage easily if it gets knocked
down or blown over.
3. Bolt your foil to your board, tightening each bolt bit by bit until all four are equally tight.

MAINTENANCE
1. To deflate the board, remove the valve cap from the valve in the board.
2. Clean and check the board as well as all the accessories. Make sure the board is
completely dry before putting it away. Make sure that no sand or gravel remains
inside the bag - this could result in abrasion or even punctures while storing the
board.
3. Rinse your board after use in salt water to avoid corrosion.
4. Roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from
the valves).
5. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place.
MAINTENANCE
1. Check that the board is fully deflated and lies flat.
2. Prepare a round patch no less than three inches or seven centimeters in diameter.
3. Clean the patch and the area surrounding the leak with alcohol.
4. To contain excess glue, use masking tape to tape o the area around the patch.
5. Apply a generous amount of glue to the surface of both the iSUP and patch.
Apply pressure to secure the patch to the iSUP.
6. Work out all air bubbles to assure the patch has a clean bond.
7. Wait 24 hours before re-inflating.
Whenever you take your board out of the water and deflate it, allow time
for it to air out and dry. Neither the skin/hull or the inside chambers will
suer from water damage, but stagnant water could cause mildew and
foul odor.
• Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid inhaling glue vapors.
• Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes.
• Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc.) away from the reach of
children.
• The repairs on the welds must not be glued. Only the manufacturer of
the board can perform repairs on the welds themselves.
