SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION!
Your prudence and self-assessment on the
water is extremely important. Never overes-
timate your strength and steering skills! Al-
ways stay close to the shore!
ATTENTION!
Pay attention to the weather conditions, seve-
re weather warnings or possible light signals!
ATTENTION!
Please always observe the safety rules and
the applicable legal regulations for lakes and
open waters!
ATTENTION!
Wear a certied life jacket when you are on
the water with the item.
• Notice the information on the type plate.
• When paddling, make sure that the weight
is always evenly balanced on the SUP.
• The inflated SUP, the paddle and the ns
are hard and may cause injury.
• Pay attention to bystanders when trans-
porting the SUP.
• Pay attention to other people in the water
when using the paddle.
• Wear a wetsuit when paddling in cooler
temperatures.
• Familiarize yourself with the water before
paddling.
• Make sure that someone on shore is in-
formed about your tour and its conditi-
ons.
• It is recommended to use a life jacket or
other life buoyancy aid.
• Pay attention to your water balance; carry
a water bottle with you! You can attach a
bag (or a cool bag) under the transport
straps.
• Store your cell phone in a waterproof
protective cover and carry an emergency
whistle on your body and a flashlight on
the board.
• Keep away from rapids, flotsam and ot-
her obstacles.
• Never use the SUP in offshore winds
(wind blowing from land towards water)
or in offshore currents (current carrying
away from shore), you could drift!
• Always follow the local shipping regula-
tions.
• Do not paddle when the tide changes or
the waves are high.
• Never leave the SUP unattended on the
water. It will drift away faster than it can
be reached by swimming.
• Always make sure you have a paddle with
you before using it, otherwise you will not
be able to manoeuvre sufciently.
• Note that the SUP consists of a single air
chamber (except two-chamber SUPs). If
this is damaged, the SUP loses its load-
bearing capacity.
• Do not use the SUP if it leaks and loses air.
• Never use the SUP under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
• Never overestimate your strength and di-
vide your muscle power when paddling in
such a way that the distance covered can
be paddled back again without difculty.
AVOIDANCE OF MATERIAL DAMAGE
• Do not carry sharp or pointed objects.
• Protect the SUP from contact with ques-
tionable liquids or acids. This can cause
irreparable damage.
• Protect the SUP from heat and re! Be ca-
reful with glowing cigarettes.
• Make sure that you do not touch stony
surfaces to avoid damaging the SUP.
• Do not make any technical changes to the
SUP. Changes of any kind endanger the
driving operation and lead to the expira-
tion of the warranty.
• All inflatable articles are sensitive to
cold. Therefore never unfold and inflate
the article below a temperature of 15° C
(59° F)!
• If the air pressure increases in the blazing
sun, it must be compensated by deflating
the air accordingly. Open the valve and
release some air if the pressure is above
1 bar (15 psi). Close the valve tightly af-
terwards.
