ANKLE LEASH INSTALLATION
A leash is provided and must be used. The U.S. Coast Guard requires it.
There is a ring installed at
the tail end of the board. Clip the leash to the ring.
PADDLE ASSEMBLY AND USE
1.
To prepare the telescopic paddle for use, loosen by turning middle grip counter clockwise.
2.
Slide paddle to desired position and turn clockwise to tighten in place.
DEFLATION PROCEDURE
1.
When you are ready to deflate your SUP, remove the fin and unscrew the valve cover, gently
push down the central valve head.
2.
Once the main pressure has decreased, push down all the way and twist the valve head. This
will lock the valve open and allow all air to escape from the board while you roll it up for storage.
3.
Clean and check the board as well as all the accessories. Make sure the board is completely
dry before putting it away. Make sure that no sand or gravel remains inside the board or
between the hull and the inner chambers. This could result in abrasion or even punctures while
storing the board.
4.
Roll the board up starting from the nose with the deck pad on the inside and the fins will then be
on the outside. This roll direction prevents damage to the flexible composite EVA deck pad.
NOTE: If you leave your board exposed to the hot
sun, check the pressure and deflate it slightly.
The board may become over inflated and stretch the
material. The ambient temperature affects the
tube’s
internal pressure; a variation of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit
(1°C) causes a variation of the
pressure in the tube of +/- 0.06 PSI
STORAGE AND BOARD CARE
This board is manufactured with UV Resistant PVC to provide superior protection from ultraviolet
light. However, to ensure extra years of flexibility and bright colors, avoid storing the board where it
will be exposed to weather or in direct sunlight. Please review the following list for storage and
board care tips.
1.
Before storing, hose off the board and let it dry completely to prevent mildew buildup. Do not
use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap and fresh water.
2.
Do not store in extreme conditions (above 150F or below -10F). Store in a clean dry place.
3.
Remove the fin before rolling up the board.
4.
When storing the board for prolonged periods in a deflated status it is best to keep it loosely
rolled, or if possible unroll it completely. Do not leave the board in direct sunlight as this may
cause fading over a prolonged period.
5.
You may experience some fin bend when travelling with the board in its bag. Fins can be easily
straightened using either the natural heat from the sun or heat from a hair dryer or hot water.
The longer the fins have been bent, the longer it will take to straighten them.
