ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INFLATION
CAUTION!
Do not use a sharp tool!
For the first inflation and in order to get acquainted with your new product, inflate indoors at room temperature
where the PVC will be soft and the assembly process made easier.
Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties.
If it was stored at a temperature below 0°C / 32°F, leave it at 20°C / 68°F for 12 hours before unfolding. Inflate it with
the included SUP Pump, or any pump designed for inflatable boats, rafts, pool floats, air beds, camping mattresses,
and other low pressure inflatables. These types of pumps will have a hose and adapters to fit the valves on this
product.
Choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold your product.
1) Before inflating, affix the two smaller side fins and the larger middle fin. To do so:
a. Insert the fin into the notched section of the fin box
b. Rock the fin towards the rear of the board until it is seated completely in the fin box
c. Lock it into place by flipping the lever lock down into the locking position
d. Test to ensure it is secure before paddling then repeat the same process for the remaining fins
2) Your product is equipped with one type of valve: High pressure valve. To inflate, open the cap by turning it
counter clockwise. Check and make sure the spring loaded pin is not depressed and locked in the open
position. To verify that the valve is not open, push the pin down and turn it clockwise. If the pin stays down,
you have now opened that valve. To close it, turn the pin counter clockwise so it springs back up. Now the
valve is closed. All inflation is done in the LOCKED position and deflation is done in the OPEN position. To
attach the pump hose to the high pressure valve, use the appropriate nozzles and fittings which are supplied
with the pump. Push the fitting into the valve and turn clockwise to lock it. Inflate until you will reach the
required pressure (see point 3). After inflation disconnect the hose from the valve and close the valve with the
cap. Please note: The valve won’t be airtight until the valve is closed with the valve cap.
3) Max. Air pressure: The correct pressure for this item is: 15 - 20 PSI. Do NOT exceed.
4) Please check the pressure with the supplied pressure gauge Overpressure: deflate until you reach the
recommended pressure. Drop of pressure: inflate again slightly.
WARNING!
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the pressure and deflate it slightly, otherwise the material
might be overstretched.
The ambient temperature affects the tube’s internal pressure: a variation of 2°C causes a variation of the pressure in
the tube of +/- 1 PSI

MAINTENANCE: DEFLATING – FOLDING THE ITEM – CLEANING – WINTERING STORAGE
1. Remove oars/paddles and other accessories.
2. To deflate, unscrew the valves’ insert and open the valve cap of the push-in valve.
3. Clean and check the item as well as all the accessories after each use. Rinse it thoroughly making sure to remove
any residues of salt if used in salt water. Use a mild soapy solution; do not use detergents or any type of silicone
based products. Make sure the product is completely dry before putting it away.
4. Fold the 2 sides into the middle and then roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape
from the valves); start again if you feel there is still some air in the tubes.

5. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected by major variations in temperature
and other damaging factors. You may store it deflated and rolled up in a bag or assembled and lightly inflated (make
sure you do not subject it to deformations). Store it away from rodents.
HOW TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES
You can repair small punctures with the included repair kit. Please note that in order for the repair to be successful, the
humidity level should be less than 60%, temperature between 18°C/25°C (65° F/77° F). Avoid carrying out repairs in
the rain or in direct sunlight.
1. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied; use a round patch from the supplied patch kit at least
2” / 5 cm larger than the cut/damaged area.
2. Clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch with a grease remover of the alcohol type and
allow it to dry for 5 minutes.
3. Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area, allow for it to dry for 5 minutes between
layers until the glue feels tacky.
4. When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without pressing and adjust the positioning if required, press
the air bubbles which may have formed under the patch by smoothing the patch with a round object such as a spoon,
do this procedure by starting in the center of the patch towards the outside, clean the excess glue with a solvent.
Drying: 12 hours.
WARNING!
Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area
Avoid inhaling glue vapors or swallowing.
Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes
Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc.) away from
