BOARD CARE, STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION

BOARD CARE:

• This board is made of High-Density Polyethylene, a highly durable material that is difficult to puncture. However, due to the board’s matte finish, it can be susceptible to scratching and staining.
• Rinse and completely dry your board and all accessories after each use. To clean dirt and debris, use a gentle sponge or cloth with mild soap/detergent. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface and the graphics.
• Always keep the hatch covers securely on whenever rinsing the board to avoid water entering the inside compartments.
• If water enters the inside of the board, remove the hatch covers and use a cloth to absorb the water until the inside is completely dry.
• Never assemble or disassemble your board in the water, and never put a disassembled section in the water. Always keep hatch covers securely on while the board is in water.
• Keep the board clear of heat generating items such as camp stoves, propane lamps, etc.

BOARD STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION:

• Rinse and completely dry the board and accessories before storing.
• Remove the top-mount fin before transporting or storing the board. Dragging the board while the fin is mounted could result in the fin breaking or wearing down overtime.
• Keep the board in the shade when it’s not in use. If the board will be exposed to prolonged sun, it is recommended to remove the hatch covers so air can freely flow throughout the inside compartments.
• Store the board in a cool, dry space and avoid storing in extreme temperature conditions.
• Due to the removable hatch covers, we strongly advise against transporting the Challenger on a roof rack.
• We recommend using the latch caps when the board is disassembled during transit and storage to help protect the latches and the surfaces they make contact with from damage.
• Always use caution when transporting and moving the disassembled board when the latches are unlocked. The latches are not flush with the board when they are in an unlocked position.

PERSONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Stand up paddle boarding carries inherent risks, unexpected dangers and other hazards. Always use caution while using this product.
• Wear a US Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD) and an ankle leash at all times.
• Users are accountable for their safety and that of others during product use. Never allow minors to use this board without proper supervision.
• Know your limits! Be aware of your skill level and never use this board beyond your own ability.
• Never use this board under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medications or any other substance that may impair your judgment and physical abilities.
• It is always advisable to paddle board in pairs. If paddle boarding alone, share your location and when you plan to be back.
• Check the weather forecast and water conditions before heading out.
• Check your local laws and regulations regarding paddle boarding in specific areas.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

(1) PREPARE YOUR BOARD FOR ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT: Choose a flat surface on which to assemble your board. Failure to do so can result in your board being unable to lock properly or at all.

1. Line up the three sections of the board with the deck-side facing up. The nose section will attach to the center section on the side closer to the cup holder.

(2) CONNECT THE NOSE AND CENTER SECTIONS

1. Fit the nose and center sections together.

2. Remove the two black rubber hatch covers and place them aside.*

• This step is not required to assemble the board, but you may find it helpful to grip the hatch opening to align the two sections together before securing the latches.

(3) SECURE THE EXTERNAL LATCHES

External Latch Components:

• Latch – Latch handle, lever, and hook, located on the nose and tail sections of the board.
• Keeper – Hooked plate that receives the hook, located on the center section of the board.

1. Latch
2. Keeper

To close the 2 external latches on the deck between the nose and center sections:

1. Remove the latch caps before beginning.

2. Swing the lever forward and position the hook so it catches onto the keeper plate.

3. Pull the latch handle forward and use the palm of your hand to press it down firmly over the keeper plate. The latch is locked when the lever is in a horizontal position.

4. Put the hatch covers back on. Firmly press your hand over the edges to ensure they are properly in place.

(4) CONNECT THE TAIL AND CENTER SECTIONS

Repeat the steps in sections 2-3 to connect the tail and center sections together.
Once completed, you‘re ready to secure the bottom of the board.

(5) SECURE THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD

To lock the 6 external latches on the bottom of the board:

1. Carefully flip the board over, laying it flat on the ground.
   Tip: Attach the shoulder strap to the passing slot (see step 3 of the accessories assembly instructions on page 13) and use it to lift the board in order to flip it over.

2. Follow the instructions outlined in step 3 to secure the 6 bottom latches. Begin with the center latch on either side. It does not matter if you secure the nose or tail section first.

(6) ATTACHING THE TOP-MOUNT FIN

Your board comes with a patented top-mount fin. Before securing the fin, make sure the board is in the water or in an elevated position and facing deck side up. This type of fin cannot be inserted from the bottom of the board.

To attach the fin:

1. Hold the fin by the front clip and position it over the fin box so that the front clip is facing the center section of the board.

2. Lower it into the fin box at an angle until the fin ridge is under the notch of the fin box.

3. Then, push the clip in and down into the fin box until it snaps in place. Confirm that the fin is securely in place before paddling.

ACCESSORIES ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

(1) ASSEMBLING THE CONVERTIBLE PADDLE SET

Your board comes with a 4-piece convertible paddle set. Disassemble and rinse the paddle after each use, and allow it to dry before putting it back together.

To Assemble SUP Paddle:

1. Carefully open the clips on both ends of the center shaft.

2. Insert the T-bar handle on one end of the center shaft and the blade on the other.
   Adjust the T-bar to the desired length and close the clips to securely lock the handle in place. The T-handle and blade must be lined up in the same direction.

To Assemble Kayak Paddle:

1. Carefully open the clips on both ends of the center shaft.

2. Insert blade on both ends of the center shaft. The two blades must be lined up in the same direction.

The paddle is packaged with the T-Bar Handle and Center Shaft connected.

1. Begin by passing the leash tie through the carrying handle located on the tail section of the board.

2. Pass the ankle cuff and coil completely through the leash tie and pull tightly to ensure it’s securely attached to the board.

3. Fasten the ankle cuff around your ankle. Undo the adjustable Velcro strap on the ankle cuff, wrap it securely around your ankle and reattach the Velcro strap to prevent it from coming off during paddling.

If using the board as a sit-on kayak, you can also attach the ankle leash to a passing slot located on either rail of the center section.

(4) ATTACHING THE SEAT

To use your board as a sit-on kayak:

1. Open the snaps of the three seat straps located on the center and tail sections.

2. Fit the seat over the center section’s rear hatch cover and seat wells. The two nodes at the front of the seat’s underside will fit into the seat wells.
   Important: The hatch cover must be securely in place before fitting the seat.

3. Once the seat is in place, snap the seat straps into the buttons on the seat. There are two in the rear and one in front.

1. Seat Nodes

(4) ACCESSING THE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS

This paddle board is equipped with three storage compartments, one per section.

1. To access the storage compartments, simply remove the hatch covers.

Tip: Use the clear water-resistant pouch to keep humidity sensitive items protected.

CAUTION: THIS POUCH IS NOT WATERPROOF.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

(1) HOW TO DISASSEMBLE THE BOARD

Disassemble your board on a flat surface. Follow the steps below in sequential order.
Let the board and accessories dry completely before transporting and storing.

1) REMOVE THE FIN
We recommend removing the fin while it is still submerged in shallow water to prevent damage. If the board is out of the water, prop the tail section to an elevated position until the fin is removed.
After stepping off the board, place one hand on the clip and one hand on the fin blade.
While pulling the clip back, push the blade up the fin box until it releases.

2) REMOVE THE PADDLE AND SEAT
Remove the paddle and seat (if applicable) from the board by releasing the clips and snap buttons, respectively.

3) UNLOCK 6 BOTTOM EXTERNAL LATCHES
Always begin with the bottom latches. To unfasten, lift the latch handle, undo the hook and raise the lever. It doesn’t matter which section you begin with, but unfasten the center latch first.

4) UNLOCK 4 TOP EXTERNAL LATCHES
Flip the board over carefully so it is deck-side up. Use caution placing it on the ground, as the bottom latches are now in the open position.
Follow the instructions on step 3 to unlock the 4 top latches. It doesn’t matter which section you begin with. Once all of the latches have been unlocked, the three pieces can be separated.

5) AFFIX THE LATCH CAPS
Once disassembled, affix the latch caps to the latches before transporting and storing to help protect the latches and the surfaces they make contact with from damage.
