Congratulations on your purchase of the Advanced Elements Hula™ 8 SUP. It is our goal at Advanced Elements to develop new and unique paddle sports products that enhance our customer’s outdoor experience. This versatile paddleboard has been designed for use in many water conditions from surf to flat waters and can be paddled standing or sitting. Made of quality materials, this compact and highly durable SUP is easy to set up and will have you out on the water in no time.
2 Set Up and Inflation 2.1 Set Up 1. Pull the Hula™ 8 out of its bag and un-fold it. 2. Locate the Fin holders on the bottom side of the board at the tail end. Take each Fin and hook them into place making sure that the longer portion is going towards the end of the board. You will need to bring the two Fin holders close together in order to get each Fin hooked into place. See images 1 and 2. 3. Once the Fins are in place, turn the board over so that the valve at the front of the board is facing up.
Image 3 (Deflate Position) Image 4 (Inflate Position) Inflation/Pump Use Tips: Because you will be inflating your SUP to such a high pressure, please follow these suggestions to help you with inflation. 1. Stand the pump on hard level ground when inflating the SUP. 2. Make sure to keep your hands towards the center of the pump handles when inflating and keep your feet firmly on the foot rests.
Care and Maintenance Very little needs to be done to care for and maintain your SUP. 1. To clean your SUP, just use a mild detergent and warm water. You should rinse your SUP off with fresh water after using it in salt water. 2. To ensure that your SUP lasts for years to come, do not store it in direct sunlight uncovered or in extremely hot or cold temperatures for long periods of time, i.e. months.
3. If you are paddling a river, do not use an ankle leash. This could be very dangerous because if you fall off, your board could pull you under the water as it continues down the river. Also, an ankle leash could get caught on items under the water and pull you off of your board as you are riding down the river. 4. Be careful in windy conditions. Because you are completely above the water, strong winds can greatly affect you and could push you around. 5.
Surf Buddy: Always surf with at least one other person. Not only will you have more fun if you are sharing your waves but you will always have someone to help you out if you need it. Surf Conditions: Make sure that the surf is safe before you go in. If you are going paddle surfing at a spot you are unfamiliar with it is a good idea to get some advice from a local. Check out the surf spot while warming up. Warm-up: Always have a quick warm-up and stretch before entering the surf.
