• All inflatable products are sensitive to cold. Never unfold and inflate the product at tem- peratures below 15°C!

• Inflate the outer air chamber of the product to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0bar (15psi).

• Inflate the inner air chamber of the product to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0bar (15psi).

• If the air pressure increases in direct sunlight, this must be rectified by releasing the corre- sponding amount of air. Open the valve and release some air if the pressure is higher than 1.0bar (15psi).

• Ensure that the product does not come into contact with stones, gravel or sharp objects, particularly when inflated, and do not allow it to rub or scrape against rough surfaces as this can cause damage.

• Only insert a suitable air pump adapter into the safety valves. Otherwise the valves could be damaged.

• Do not use a compressor to inflate the prod- uct.

• Do not over-inflate – this can result in the seams splitting open. Ensure the valve is firmly closed after inflating.

• Avoid contact with corrosive, pointy or haz- ardous items, chemicals or liquids. Should this happen, check the board thoroughly for leaks or other damage.

• Keep the product away from fire and hot items (e.g. lit cigarettes).

• Check the product for damage or wear before each use. Only use the product if it is in perfect condition! GB17 Assembly Follow the step-by-step assembly instructions in the order given.

1. Select a suitable area that is clean and

smooth and has enough room to unpack and unfold the product. Make sure that all the parts are included and are in perfect condition.

2. When assembling the product for the second

time, and subsequently, check for any damage, holes or tears and seal them as de- scribed further on. Once you are on the water, it is too late to repair any damage. Assembling the (kayak) paddle (Fig. B)

1. Release the locking lever (4a) on the exten-

blade (5) into the extension pole.

3. Pull the paddle handle/kayak paddle blade

out of the extension pole to the desired length. Note: please refer to the section ‘Adjusting the paddle length’ to set the handle to the correct length.

4. Press the locking lever against the extension

pole in order to lock the paddle handle/kay- ak paddle blade.

5. Insert the open end of the extension pole into

the end of the paddle blade (2). The pin on the extension pole must click audibly into the pin-hole of the paddle blade. Disassembling the (kayak) paddle Proceed in the reverse order to disassemble the paddle. Inflating the board WARNING!

• Inflate the air chambers in the correct se- quence.

• Avoid over-inflating the air chambers, other- wise you risk over-stretching the seams or even splitting them.

• Operating pressure can increase when ex- posed to the sun. Compensate the air pressure by releasing air from the board.

• Use commercially available foot pumps or single action pump with the appropriate attachments and pressure gauge to inflate the board.

• Specially designed electrical air pumps for SUP boards are also suitable for inflation. These air pumps are pre-set at 1.0bar or 15psi and automatically turn themselves off once this air pressure has been reached. Always check the inflated air pressure. If, contrary to expectation, the air pressure is not 1.0bar (15psi), re-inflate manually, or release air, until the nominal pressure has been achieved.

• Do not use a compressor or compressed air canister to inflate the product. This can lead to damage.

• Always fully inflate the board.

• Do not inflate the board near sharp or pointed objects, or on rough or stony ground.

• Always fully inflate each air chamber. IMPORTANT!

• Only open the valve to inflate and deflate. Otherwise it can become contaminated.

• The area around the valve must always be clean and dry.

• Ensure that sand or other contaminants do not get into the valve. Inflation sequence Inflate the chambers in the following sequence:

• The optimal operating pressure for both air chambers is 1.0bar.

• The outer air chamber expands after inflation and pushes against the inner air chamber , which may cause the operating pressure of the inner air chamber to exceed 1.0bar.

• Because fluctuations may occur, check the air pressure in the inner air chamber once more after inflating the outer air chamber and adjust the operating pressure accordingly, if necessary.

1. Screw the female thread (8a) of the hose

(8) onto the thread (7a) of the air pump (7) (Fig. C). Note: ensure that you screw the hose onto the thread marked ‘OUT’.

3. Place the end of the hose (8b) onto the valve

and screw it on tightly clockwise (Fig. D). Note: the valve pin (1c) of the outer chamber must be in the closed position when doing so (Fig. E). The valve pin of the inner chamber must be in the open position. After inflating the outer chamber, the valve pin of the inner chamber must also be set to the closed position.

4. Inflate the outer air chamber to a maxi-

mum of 1.0bar (15psi) with the air pump.

5. Stop inflating once the pressure gauge

mum of 1.0bar (15psi) with the air pump.

7. Stop inflating once the pressure gauge

indicates 1.0bar, or 15psi.

8. Turn the end of the hose anticlockwise to

remove it from the valve, and place the valve cap onto the valve.

9. Turn the valve cap clockwise to tighten it.

10. Check the operating pressure in the inner air

chamber and adjust it if necessary. Deflating (Fig. E)

1. Turn the valve cap anticlockwise.

2. Remove the valve cap and press the valve pin

3. Press the valve pin down and turn it 90° in

any direction until it stays in position. Leave it in this position until all the air has been released.

4. After deflating, turn the valve by 90° once

again. The valve pin returns to its original position. Mounting the fin (Fig. F)

1. Insert the fin (6), with the rounded bottom end

facing forward, into the fin groove (1d) on the underside of the board (1). Note: make sure that you place the fin into the fin groove completely.

1. Push in the pin (6a) to release it from the fin

• Avoid over-inflating the air chamber, other- wise you risk over-stretching or even splitting the seams.

• Use commercially available foot pumps or single action pump with the appropriate attachments and pressure gauge to inflate the seat (9).

• Do not use a compressor or compressed air canister to inflate the seat. This can lead to damage.

• Always inflate the seat completely.

• Do not inflate the seat near sharp or pointed objects, or on rough or stony ground.

• Always fully inflate each air chamber. IMPORTANT!

• Only open the valve to inflate and deflate. Otherwise it can become contaminated.

• The area around the valve must always be clean and dry.

• Ensure that sand or other contaminants do not get into the valve.

1. Attach the adapter to the hose with adapters

2. Open the valve and inflate the seat with the

appropriate adapter.

3. Close the valve and press it in.

Proceed in the reverse order to deflate. Installing the seat (Fig. G) Fix the seat (9) to the board by fastening the four straps (9a) to the four rectangular rings (1e). Use Adjusting the paddle length Before use, adjust the paddle length to your height. There are no fixed guidelines determining the correct length for any particular height. We recommend following this formula to deter- mine the correct length: height + 20cm (8in). You can also determine the paddle length in the following way:

1. Raise your non-dominant arm straight over-

2. Use your other hand to place the paddle

under the raised arm.

3. Extend or shorten the paddle until it fits under

the wrist of the raised arm. Important: do not pull the paddle handle (3) out past the ‘STOP’ mark on the extension pole (4). Otherwise, an appropriate level of stability cannot be guaranteed. GB18 GB Attaching the leash to the product (Fig. J) Attach the leash (12) to the back D-ring (1f).

1. Pull the loop (12b) of the leash through the

2. Pull the ankle attachment (12a) through the

loop of the leash until there is a knot on the D-ring. Using the leash (Fig. K) WARNING!

• Never attach the leash (12) to your ankle when you are using the product on stretches of flow- ing water (e.g. water with rapids and rivers).

• Never attach the leash to your ankle in off- shore winds.

• When using the product in deep water, attach the leash to your ankle. Transporting the product in the backpack Note: the backpack is intended to be used exclusively for the transport and storage of the board and its accessories. You can store or transport the product in the backpack (14) (Fig. H). Disassemble the product in the reverse order to that shown in the ‘Assembly’ section.

Clean the board after every use and only when the valve is closed.

1. Remove the fin (6) from the board (1).

2. Place the board on a clean, flat and dry

3. Clean the board and fin with fresh water and

mild soap in order to remove any salt crystals, grains of sand and any other minor contami- nation.

4. Wipe everything down with a soft, dry cloth.

5. Let the board and fin dry completely after-

wards. Storage WARNING! Mould may form if the product is not stored properly.

• Store the product in a clean, dry, well-ven- tilated location away from direct sunlight, where it is not exposed to major temperature fluctuations.

• When not in use for an extended period, we recommend that you disassemble the product completely and store it in the backpack provided.

• If the product will not be in use for an ex- tended period of time, completely open the zip fastener on the backpack to ensure the product is well ventilated.

• Store the product in a secure place, out of reach of children.

• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the product.

• After an extended storage period, check the product for wear and tear, or signs of ageing. Repairs WARNING! Before every use, check the board for pressure loss, holes or tears. If the board is leaking air, this could be due to a leaking valve, a defective valve, or a leak in the board itself. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair larger damaged areas yourself. Minor damage can be repaired using the repair kit (13) supplied. Valve To check whether the valve is leaking or defec- tive, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and

remove it from the valve (1b).

2. Ensure that there is no sand, or other foreign

objects, in the valve.

3. Fully inflate the board (1).

5. Rinse the area of the board around the valve

with soapy water. If bubbles form around the valve, the valve must either be tightened or replaced.

• Tightening the valve (Fig. I)

1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and

remove it from the valve (1b).

2. Place the valve key (10) on the valve until it

fully grips the valve.

3. Tighten the valve by turning the valve key

4. Close the valve with the valve cover and rinse

the area of the board around the valve with soapy water. If no more bubbles form, the valve is tightly sealed.

• Replacing the valve (Fig. I) If bubbles are still forming around the valve, even after you’ve tightened it, it will need to be replaced.

1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and

remove it from the valve (1b).

2. Release all of the air from the board.

3. Place the valve key (10) on the valve until it

fully grips the valve.

4. Turn the valve key anticlockwise until the valve

can be removed from the board.

5. Remove the defective valve from the board.

6. Insert a new valve into the board.

Note: you may order a replacement valve from the customer service address below. For a better seal, we recommend that you smear a little sili- cone grease or petroleum jelly around the valve.

7. Place the valve key onto the valve and tighten

the valve by turning it clockwise.

8. Place the valve cover on the valve and tighten

it by turning it clockwise. Leaks Only repair leaks in the board with a suitable adhesive. An adhesive is included in the pack- age contents. Repairs with unsuitable adhesive can lead to further damage! You can find suitable adhesives in spe- cialist shops. Note: small leaks (smaller than 2mm) can also be repaired with just the adhesive, by applying it directly to the leaky area. Larger leaks (larger than 2mm) can be repaired as follows:

1. Completely release the air from the board.

2. Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired.

3. Dry the cleaned area.

4. Cut a patch that is large enough to cover the

damaged area and extends 1.5cm around it on all sides.

5. Apply the adhesive to the leak and to the

patch itself. Let the adhesive dry for approx. 2–4 minutes.

6. Firmly press the patch onto the leak with a soft

object. Be sure to work on an even surface without any creases or folds. Using a rounded object, gently remove any air bubbles, moving outwards from the centre.

7. Let the adhesive dry for at least 12 hours after

8. After the drying process is complete, add

more adhesive to the edges of the patch.

9. Let the adhesive dry for approx. 4 hours.

Important: before taking the board into the water after repairing it, test the repaired area to check that it is sealed. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair very large damaged areas yourself. Take the board to a specialist repair shop. Maintenance Check regularly that the air pump is well lubricat- ed before and during operation. In order to lubricate it, open the upper cover and apply a thin coat of oil or grease to the seals and the line.
