SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Stand-up paddle (SUP) boarding is a demanding sport that will expose the users to
unexpected danger, risks, hazards and physical injury. It is important that users fully
understand and follow all the warnings and instructions in this manual to minimize the
risk of serious injury or death.

Do not allow anyone to operate or assemble the product until they have read
this manual and have a full understanding of how the product works as well as
when and where to use it. Take lessons from a certified instructor before using
this product.
You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of others when you are
using this product. Anyone using this product must be able to swim and must
be in good health and physical condition.
Never paddle alone. Always paddle with an experienced partner when using
this product.
Children shall have a parent or guardian read and explain the entire Owner’s
Manual to them. Children shall not use the SUP unless they are under the
guidance and competent supervision of an adult.
Beware of offshore winds and currents. In case of thunderstorm, high winds,
bad weather and marine conditions, do not use this product.
Check weather forecast as weather conditions can rapidly deteriorate, always
be sure that you can reach a shelter rapidly.
Do not carry the SUP in windy conditions, it may be blown away causing
serious injury to the user or others in their vicinity.
This is not a lifesaving device. Everyone must wear a Coast Guard approved
personal floatation device (PFD) and safety headgear. Local, state or federal
authorities may fine you for failure to have a US Coast Guard approved life
preserver onboard your SUP for each person.
Do not allow horseplay, careless or reckless behavior when using this product.
Never use this product while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medications or when you are tired.
Swift currents, waves, tides and wakes of boats may all cause problems,
especially for an inexperienced user. Users should always become experienced
in calm waters before attempting any of these more challenging situations.
Beware of things in the water like rocks, branches, docks, other boats and
paddle boards and even swimmers. Colliding with any of these things may
cause you to lose control of the board, fall and become injured.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Never leave your board, even if you lose your paddle. You can still paddle your
board with your hands, which is easier than trying to swim back to shore.
Striking a swimmer with the board or paddle can cause serious injury or death
to them.
Never exceed the maximum recommended weight capacity. Total weight of
persons and equipment must be evenly distributed.
A board leash must be used at all times. This prevents you from becoming
separated from the board in case you fall.
Always inspect the SUP and the leash for signs of wear and tear before and
after use. If they show signs of wear and tear, repair or replace them
immediately.
Never use this product at night or in the dark.
This product is designed for use as a personal watercraft. It is not to be used
on land or to be towed by any watercraft or other means. Do not add a sail or
motor or any other means of propelling the SUP.
This product should not be modified or used for any application other than that
for which it was designed.
Never operate your SUP unless it is properly inflated. Operating an inflatable
SUP that is either over inflated or under inflated increases the risk of injury.
Do not use this product in shallow water, as the fins may strike submerged
objects causing damage to the fins and/or fin slots.
Advise someone on land about your sail routes and the time you plan to be
back at your starting point.
Before using the SUP familiarize yourself with local laws, rules, and regulations
(such as leash, PFD’s, radios, whistle, waterproof flashlights and tow-ropes).
Do not secure any object to your SUP that could cause further injury in the
event of a fall.
Avoid all contact between the SUP and sharp objects or harmful liquids (such
as oil, acid).
Do not exceed the recommended working pressure. Do not over inflate or use
an air compressor.
Do not transport the product fully pressurized. Travelling from low to high
altitudes will increase the air pressure inside the chamber and possible damage
the product due to over-pressurization.

FOLLOW THESE RULES TO AVOID DROWNING, SERIOUS INJURIES OR
DEATH.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Inflation:

1. Locate a clean and flat surface free of sharp objects.
2. Remove the product from the backpack and unfold it with the valve facing up.
3. Open the valve cap. Make sure the valve stem is in the
up (close) position. If the valve stem is down and air is
escaping, gently push the stem in and turn counterclockwise
to close the valve (up position).
4. Screw the inflation hose to the pump inflation port. Make
sure the black pin is inserted into the hand pump. With pin
inserted, the pump is now in “double action” mode meaning
that airflow occurs on both the up and down compressions.
At around 12 psi (0.8 bar) remove the black pin, the pump
is now in “single action” mode meaning you will only be
inflating on the down compression. This allows for easier
inflation at higher pressure.
5. Insert inflation hose into the valve and turn clockwise to lock
it in place.
6. Start inflating the product to 18 psi (1.24 bar).
WARNING: Do not exceed the recommended working
pressure. Do not use an air compressor. Over inflation will
damage the product and void the warranty.
7. Remove the hose from the valve and replace the valve cap.
8. If the valve body or base leaks, use the included wrench to
tighten the valve clockwise and stop the leak.

Ankle Leash Installation:

Attach the leash to the D ring located at the tail end
of the SUP.

Fin Installation:

1. Slide the large fin into the center slot.
2. Slide the smaller fins into the left and right slots.
3. Make sure all the fins are securely locked into the slots.

WARNING

Extended exposure to the sun can shorten the lifespan of the product. Do not leave the
product in direct sunlight for more than 1 hour after use.

General Use of the SUP:
1. Adjust the length of the paddle before using the SUP (Fig 1).
2. Kneel on the SUP (Fig 2).
3. Gradually stand up on one leg (Fig 3).
4. Stand up with the other leg and keep your hands on the board (Fig 4).
5. Maintain balance with paddle (Fig 5).
6. Stand at the center of the SUP facing forward with your feet approximately shoulder
width apart and knees slightly bent (Fig 6).
7. Place one hand on top of the paddle handle. Place the other hand on the shaft of the
paddle about 24 in/61cm below the handle.
8. Begin to row after standing up (Fig 7).
9. To go straight, paddle alternating from left to right side of the SUP using the same
number of strokes on each side.
10. To turn left, paddle on the right side of the SUP. To turn right, paddle on the left side.
Note: Take lessons from a certified instructor before using this product.

Deflation:
1. Remove the fins and the ankle leash, and disassemble the paddle.
2. With the SUP inflated and the valve closed, clean the SUP and accessories with fresh
water. Make sure the SUP and accessories are completely dry before storing.
3. Open the valve cap, push the valve stem in and turn right
to secure it in the down/open position.
4. Fold the SUP, starting from the nose with the anti-skid mat
on the inside and the fin slots will then be on the outside.
This prevents damage to the anti-skid mat. Push out all the
air while folding the SUP.
5. Once the deflation is completed, push the stem in and
turn 90 degree left to return it into the up/close position.
Replace the valve cap.
6. Wrap the belt around the rolled up SUP, fasten the buckle,
and place the SUP and accessories in the backpack.

Care, Maintenance and Storage:

There is very little that you have to do to keep your SUP in good condition for many years.
If you store it in a closet, basement or garage, we suggest you pick a cool, dry place, making sure the SUP is clean and dry before you store it – or mold can accumulate.

Do not leave or store the SUP in direct sunlight or excessive heat conditions such as inside
a closed vehicle. Excessive heat will increase the pressure inside the SUP beyond the
recommended working pressure and can damage the SUP. If you must store temporarily
in the sun, protect the SUP by covering with a towel or storing in a shaded area. Release a
small amount of pressure from the SUP to allow for pressure build up from heat. Pump the
SUP back up to the recommended working pressure before using again.

Clean your SUP after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or sun exposure. Most
dirt can be removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild soap. Make sure the SUP is
completely dry before storing. Store the product and accessories in a dry, temperature
controlled, between 32° F (0° C) and 104° F (40° C) storage location.

Repairs:

1. First locate the leak; soapy water will bubble out from the source of the leak. Deflate and thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.
2. Cut a piece of repair patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately
1.5 cm (1/2”) and round off the edges.
3. Apply some glue (not included) to the patch and the damaged area. You can purchase
a PVC or silicon based glue for repairing camping tents or shoes from your local market,
please refer to the instruction of the glue for patching.
4. Place the patch on the damaged area and PRESS DOWN FIRMLY. You may want to use
a weight on top to keep it in place.
5. Wait 24 hours before use.
