Dear Customer
In your inflatable kayak you can rule the waves.
The kayak is suitable for one person. Quickly inflated and assembled, it offers paddling fun on
all stretches of water. The two insertable keels ensure a smooth ride and stable positioning.
The kayak hull consists of 3 independent, inflatable air chambers made of PVC-coated
synthetic fabric and the floor is strengthened with an additional outer skin. The handy bag on
the seat may also be used as a belt bag.
A convenient carrying bag is enclosed for transporting all accessories.
With all these features, your next kayak trip is sure to be a real pleasure.
We hope you will be entirely satisfied with your purchase. Ahoy there!

Cleaning and storing
• Clean and dry the kayak carefully after each trip before folding and storing it. If you are unable
to clean and dry it immediately after a trip, do so at the earliest possible opportunity.
• Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning.
• Store the kayak only when deflated. The fabric will benefit most from being stored spread out if
possible.
• If the kayak is ever exposed to frost, allow it to warm up at room temperature before unfolding it.
CAUTION - material damage
• Never use caustic chemicals, or aggressive or abrasive cleaning products for cleaning.
Do not use talcum powder as it adversely affects the fabric.
• Store the kayak in a clean, dry place. Do not store it at extreme temperatures.

When afloat
Water inside the kayak?
There are flow holes located all around the
kayak between the side wall and the floor
chamber. Water that slops into the kayak is fed
downwards through these openings and collects
between the floor chamber and outer skin of the
kayak. In this way the water level in the kayak
does not rise so quickly, keeping you drier in
your seat for longer.
After the trip – and occasionally during it if a
great deal of water is taken on board – this water
has to be drained off.
Drain holes closed with drain hole plugs are
located all around the outer skin for this pur-
pose.
To drain the water, open the drain holes – but
only do this on land, never on water. Tilt the
kayak at a slight angle to improve the flow of the
water.
Going ashore
If you want to go ashore occasionally during
your trip, the bag on the backrest of the seat can
be easily removed and strapped on as a belt bag.
In a flash you have all the equipment you need
for going ashore.

DANGER of drowning if the kayak sinks
• Before setting out, check that all drain holes are closed with drain hole plugs.
