- Always carry identification.
- Wear a helmet when appropriate.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 90kg.
- Do not operate the board under the influence of drugs, alcohol and/or medication.
- It is not recommended to use the board in high waves and/or powerful flood.
- Beware of offshore winds and currents as they can take you out to sea.
- Check your equipment prior to each use for signs of wear, leaks or failure.
- Protect this article from extreme temperatures, sun and humidity.
- Tie the included leash to your board at all times.
- Always inform someone your location, the time and place of departure and your intended time and place of arrival. It is not recommended to perform this activity alone.
- Watch out for other beach users especially swimmers and children. Make sure you keep the board under control at all times.
- Never leave your board for an extended period of time on a warm surface like a beach or other surfaces. This can cause damage to your board.
- Do not use the board in shallow water as the fin may hit the bottom.
PREPARATIONS FOR INFLATING THE BOARD
Remove all sharp edged and pointed objects from the surface in order to avoid
damaging the board.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INFLATION / DEFLATION
Inflate the board with the included hand pump.
- Valve cap
- Button
- Valve base
- Unscrew the valve cap 1. Push the button 2 in and turn approximately 90 degrees so it is in the “OUT” position.
- Insert the pump hose end piece and inflate it until you will reach the required pressure. After inflation tighten all the valve cap (clockwise). Only the valve cap can ensure final AIR TIGHTNESS.
- To release air from the board, remove the valve cap 1 and push the button 2 in and turn approximately 90 degrees so it is in the “IN” position.
The correct pressure for this board is maximum
1,17bar / 17PSI (=1170 mBar)
DO NOT EXCEED THIS !!
Using an electrical pump or air compressor is at your own risk. This can lead
to damaging the board.
3. Lock pin
DETACHABLE SKEG ON BACKSIDE OF BOARD
It is recommended to use the detachable fin in deep water, where it will allow
you to move forward in a straight line. Do not use the fin in shallow water as
it could hit the bottom. The fin can be mounted on the board when the board is
inflated or deflated. To position the fin, push the skeg into the black insert
on the underside of the board. To lock the fin, push the lock pin through the
hole on the base of the fin.
ATTACHING THE LEASH
Before you start to use the board first attach included leash to the board and
yourself.
- Attach the leash to the metal ring on top of the board.
- Attach the other side of the lease to your ankle.
When you fall in the water the leash ensures that the board will not float away.
REPAIRS
Although the board has been manufactured of a reinforced and tough material, it is still possible to cause holes or cracks when the board is handled improperly. For the repair of a small damage a repair kit is included.
- Prepare a round patch with repair material with correct measurements.
- Clean the repair material and the area around the leak with alcohol.
- Apply 3 thin, even coats of glue to both the surface of the board and the repair material. Wait 5 minutes between each coat.
- After the 3rd coat, wait 10-15 minutes before applying the repair material. Use a handroller to apply the repair material evenly. Pay special attention to the edges.
- Wait at least 24 hours before re-inflating.
- Many tutorials on social media regarding board repairs.
HOW TO USE THE VALVE WRENCH TO FIX LEAKAGE PROBLEMS IN VALVE LOCATION:
A. Deflate the board until the top and bottom skin (PVC) have collapsed.
B. Grab the valve base (3) with your hand through the bottom layer and
hold steady while inserting the valve tightening wrench (1) into the valve top
(2) and turn the wrench firmly clockwise until proper sealing is guaranteed.
C. If tightening of valve top (2) was still not successful unscrew the
valve top (2) entirely turning it counterclockwise and inspect the PVC opening
hole for any wrinkles, tears or debris.
D. If the PVC opening hole looks intact add a thin layer of repair
adhesive (PVC glue) onto the PVC.
E. Tighten the valve as described in B and let the glue dry in a warm
well-ventilated area for 24 hours.
F. After 24 hours inflate the SUP to 15PSI and leave inflated for 72
hours to check for air leakage.
ADDITIONAL INFO
WHAT IS DROP-STITCH MATERIAL?
This inflatable board use drop stitch. This technology ensures that the bottom
and top of a board remain connected to each other. Drop stitch is the
technology used to produce a board. Hundreds of threads that connect the top
and bottom of a board form the drop-stitch technology. These wires ensure that
an inflatable board remains in its original form, even under high pressure.
DEFORMATION
As drop-stitch material is sewed vertically with threads, there is always 1
place on the board with a “deformation”. This deformation, can be explained
logically by the placement of the valve. Due-to the valve, no “DROP-STITCH
wires” are present at this location. This, is a deformation inherent to the
design of the board and does not have any impact on the quality.
AIRBUBBLES UNDER THE EVA-PAD
The SUPs EVA-PAD can contain 1 or several groups of tiny bubbles. As this
product is completely handmade, this is completely normal. The layers of PVC
and EVA are glued together by hand. Although the production process is in a
dust-free area some small particles can settle on the PVC during
manufacturing. These air bubbles are cosmetic, and will not grow or affect the
performance of your SUP board.
