Before You Start
Please read all instructions carefully.
Retain instructions for future reference.
Separate and count all parts and hardware.
Read through each step carefully and follow the proper order.
We recommend that, where possible, all items are assembled near to the area in
which they will be placed in use, to avoid moving the product unnecessarily
once assembled.
Always place the product on a flat, steady, and stable surface.
Keep all small parts and packaging materials for this product away from babies
and children as they potentially pose a serious choking hazard.
Inflatable stand-up paddleboards are a great option for camping trips,
boating, and riders with limited transport/storage space. The board is
amazingly stiff due to its high-quality material and professional design. Our
high-quality Drop-Stitch construction makes our SUP maintain unrivaled
stability and rigidity in the inflatable product category This manual has been
compiled to help you operate your inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board
(Hereinafter referred to as ISUP) with safety and pleasure.
It contains details of the ISUP, the equipment supplied, and information on
its operation. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with the ISUP
before using it. Any ISUP, no matter how strong it may be, can be severely
damaged if not used properly. This is not compatible with safe boating. Always
adjust the speed and direction of the ISUP to sea conditions. All persons
should wear a suitable buoyancy aid (life jacket/personal floatation device)
when boating ISUP. Note that, in some countries, it is a legal requirement to
wear a buoyancy aid that complies with their national regulations at all
times.

SET-UP PREPARATION
-
Unfold the board from the packaging.
choose a smooth and clean surface to unfold the board. Roll out the SUP board until it is laying flat with the top side facing up. -
Valve operation
Follow the instructions below for valve operation and correct inflation and deflation procedures.
The board’s inflation valve is located near the nose of the board. To close off the valve for inflation, make sure that the center valve pin is in the “UP” position. If it is in the “DOWN” position, press the valve pin to the “UP” position. To open the valve for deflation, press down on the valve pin (need not turn it), make sure that the center valve pin is in the “DOWN” position,
Be careful of any sand or debris around the valve area when deflating as small particles could become airborne with the release of the air pressure.
Always lock the valve cover over the valve stem when in use. This will prevent accidental air release and the entrance of any particles into the air chambers. -
ISUP Board inflation Steps
a. Unscrew the valve cap, and press down the valve pin to open the valve. Let the air flow naturally into the product, in order to save the time of inflation, then press down the valve pin again to close the valve (in the “UP” position).
b. Make sure the pump hose is connected to the “inflate” outlet.
c. Connect the pump nozzle into the valve receptacle, with a half twist motion (clockwise)
d. Start pumping air into the board by sliding the pump piston up and down. Inflate until you reach the required pressure.
Minimum 12psi for proper ISUP operation and a maximum of 15psi for this product.
e. After inflation, tighten the valve cap. Only the valve cap can ensure final airtightness. -
Fin installation
The two side fins are fixed on the product. Once the board is inflated, slide the middle fin to the base and insert the fixed pin. -
Inflation tips and precautions
DO NOT use an air compressor. Damage to your board caused by overinflation from an air compressor is not covered by our warranty.
After 2 or 3 days there may be a small decrease of pressure due to temperature change. if so, add some air by the pump.
Before undertaking a long paddle, inflate the board for a full 24 hours to make sure the board is airtight. If you are seeing a consistent decrease in air pressure, follow the instructions for leak detection in the board repair section of this manual.
DO NOT over-inflate the board. Max pressure of 15 psi is adequate. The easiest gauge of good working pressure is to have the chambers inflated to firm pressure when you press on them.
**** DO NOT pump to high pressure and let the board sit out in the hot sun.
if the board is going to be in a warm environment, slightly deflate the board
and allow the heat from the sun to increase the internal pressure. When
paddling, the lower temperature of the water may cause a slight loss in
chamber pressure.
It is a good idea to carry a pump with you so that you can add some air to the
chambers if necessary.
ALU telescopic ISUP paddle
Your board paddle comes in three pieces. To build the paddle, hold the button
in while sliding the pieces together until they click into place. The last
section(top) of the paddle is adjustable. To find the ideal height for your
paddle, start by building the paddle so it is 6 inches taller than your own
height. From this point, adjust the top section up or down until the length is
comfortable for you. a longer paddle is better suited for a smooth, easier
paddling motion. A shorter paddle is good for performance or competition
riding.
After closing the button, if you find that the adjustable section is a little loose, please tighten the screw properly with a screwdriver.
Features:
Adjustable length from 160-210cm
Light and FLOATING, 960g
The shaft of 29 and 27mm in alloy 6005-T6
Compact: removable in 3 parts of 79cm
LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
Air Leak Detection
If the board is losing air pressure, not caused by lower temperature, check
the board for leaks, starting with the valves. A leaking valve is rare, but if
you do find a leak, we recommend that you tighten it with the included wrench.
To locate a leak, we recommend mixing soap and water in a spray bottle, spray
around the valve. If you see bubbles forming, check your valve seating and
base and be sure the valve insert is screwed tight. If you continue to have
problems, please contact us.
If the board is losing air and the valves are good, it probably has a small
puncture. Small punctures can be repaired easily and permanently. Spray around
the board until air bubbles become visible and mark the position of the leak.
If you do not find air bubbles, inflate the board to maximum air pressure and
try to listen to find the leak, if you can narrow the area down, return with a
spray bottle to identify the source of the leak.
Repair Kit
Punctures less than 1/8” in size can be repaired simply without a patch.
Deflate your board, then clean and dry the area to be repaired. Apply a small
drop of glue to cover the puncture, and let it dry for 12 hours.
If your board needs repair, use the patches in the repair kit and follow these
steps:
Deflate the board completely, lay it flat, and wait for it to dry.
Cut a patch that is 2 inches larger than the tear/rip all the way around.
Use alcohol to clean the repair area.
Apply three coats of adhesive to the patch and the board. Wait 5 minutes in
between each coat.
Place the patch over the tear/rip. The adhesive will react quickly, so make
sure the positioning is precise/accurate. Use the roller to ensure the patch
lays flat and even.
Wait 24 hours before re-inflating the board.
INSTRUCTION FOR CARE AND STORAGE
Having an inflatable SUP board makes portability and storage very easy. Here
are some simple suggestions if you plan on traveling with your SUP board.
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 mild
soap and freshwater.
You may store the board inflated or deflated. If you deflate the board, we
recommend that you store it in the protective bag that came with the board.
If storing the board outdoors, raise it up off the ground and cover it with a
tarp to prevent exposure to the sun.
Hanging the board is not recommended.
Do not store in extreme conditions (i.e. above 66 ℃/150 ℉ or below -23 ℃/-10
℉).
Store in a clean and dry place.
Do not roll up the board too tight when storing it while deflated.
If fins become bent, place them in boiling water and use heat (e.g. hairdryer)
to bend them back into position.
