2 Set Up and Inflation 2.1 Set Up 1. Pull the Lotus YSUP™ 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.
as a freezing winter in an unheated shed, over such an extended amount of time can prematurely wear out the materials that the SUP are made of. 3. Do not leave your SUP inflated in direct sunlight for long periods of time, unless it is in the water. Hot air expands, so with this, if you leave your SUP on the beach or on the pavement in a parking lot fully inflated for a long period of time, the air inside the SUP will expand and cause over inflation, damaging your paddleboard.
used to moving your feet around on the board because the sooner that you do this the more comfortable you will feel about doing turns and riding waves. 7. The Best way to turn your board is to stand with your foot at the tail of the board with your weight over the fins. This is where foot movement will come in handy. 8. For more in depth instructions or lessons on paddle boarding, we recommend utilizing the internet or a paddleboard instructor. 7.2 SUP Yoga Tips 1.
Rips: If you are caught in a rip current remember that it's called R.I.P. for a reason and you will probably not make it back to dry land ever again. Although hopefully you already know that a rip current is a strong current that (normally) goes straight out to sea and if caught in one that you should not panic and paddle across the rip current (not against it) until you have escaped. Paddle Buddy: Always paddle or surf with at least one other person.
