Preventing damage to the product!

All inflatable products are sensitive to cold. Never unfold and inflate the product at temperatures below 5°C!
Inflate the product’s air chamber to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 bar (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 1.0 bar (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.
Insert only a suitable pump adapter into the safety valves. Otherwise, the valves could be damaged.
Do not use a compressor to inflate the product.
Do not over-inflate as this can result in the seams splitting open. Ensure the valve is firmly closed after inflating.
Avoid contact with corrosive, pointy, or hazardous 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. Use the product only if it is in perfect condition!

Assembly

Follow the step-by-step assembly instructions in the order given.

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.
When assembling the product for the second time, and subsequently, check for any damage, holes, or tears and seal them as described further on. Once you are on the water, it is too late to repair any damage.

Watch the information video showing how to assemble the product by scanning the accompa-nying QR code with a suitable device.

Assembling the paddle (Fig. B)

Release the locking lever (4a) on the extension pole (4).
Insert the paddle handle (3) into the extension pole.
Extend the paddle handle 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.
Press down the locking lever on the extension pole to lock the paddle handle.
Note: if the paddle handle (3) can be moved with the closed locking lever (4a), open the locking lever and turn clockwise until it clamps the paddle handle sufficiently firmly in its closed state.
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 pinhole of the paddle blade.

Disassembling the paddle
Proceed in the reverse order to disassemble the paddle.

Inflating the board

WARNING!

Avoid over-inflating the board, otherwise you risk over-stretching the seams or even splitting them.
Operating pressure can increase when exposed to the sun. Compensate the air pressure by releasing air from the board.
Use commercially available foot pumps or double-action hand pumps with the appropriate attachments and pressure gauge to inflate the product.
Specially designed electrical pumps for SUP boards are also suitable for inflation. These pumps are pre-set at 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 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.

IMPORTANT!

Open the valve only 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.
To achieve maximum pressure, switch from double to single action.
Pull the fastener (6b) at the air pump (6) out to switch to a single action (Fig. C).
Insert the fastener (6b) into the opening provided (6c) to switch to double action (Fig. C).

Inflating the air chamber

Important!
The optimal operating pressure is 1.0 bar (15psi).

Screw the female thread (7a) of the hose (7) onto the thread (6a) of the air pump (6) (Fig. C).
Note: ensure that you screw the hose onto the thread marked with ‘IN’.
Twist the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise out of the valve (1b) (Fig. D).
Place the end of the hose (7b) onto the valve and screw it tight in a clockwise direction (Fig. D).
Note: the valve pin (1c) must be in the closed position when doing so (Fig. E).
Inflate the board to a maximum of 1.0 bar (15psi) with the air pump.
Stop inflating once the pressure gauge indicates 1.0 bar or 15 psi.
Turn the end of the hose anticlockwise to remove it from the valve, and place the valve cap onto the valve.
Turn the valve cap clockwise to tighten it.

Deflating (Fig. E)

Turn the valve cap anticlockwise.
Remove the valve cap.
Press the valve pin (1c) down and turn it 90° in any direction until it stays in position. Leave the valve pin in this position until all the air has been released.
After deflating, turn the valve by 90° once again. The valve pin returns to its original position.

Mounting the fin (Fig. F)

Insert the fin (5), with the rounded bottom end facing forward, into the fin groove on the underside of the board (1).
Note: make sure that you place the fin into the fin groove completely.
Insert the pin into the fin groove to secure the fin.

Removing the fin

Push in the pin to release it from the fin groove.
Pull the fin (5) out of the fin groove.

Use

Adjusting the paddle length
Before use, adjust the paddle length to your height. There are no universal guidelines for determining the correct length for any particular height.

We recommend following this formula to determine the correct length: height + 20cm (8 inches).
You can also determine the paddle length in the following way:
1. Raise your non-dominant arm straight overhead.
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.

Attaching the leash to the product (Fig. I)
Attach the leash (10) to the back D-ring (1d), as shown in Figure I.

Pull the loop (10b) of the leash through the D-ring.
Pull the ankle attachment (10a) through the leash loop until there is a knot on the D-ring.

Using the leash (Fig. J)

WARNING!

Never attach the leash (10) to your ankle when using the product on flowing water (e.g. waters with rapids, as well as 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 as shown in Figure J.

Using the board (Fig. K)

Kneel in the middle of the board and support yourself with your arms shoulder-width apart.
Lift one foot and place it in line with your hips. Repeat the step with the other foot.
Slowly straighten up from the squat position. Keep your knees slightly bent and shift your weight backward.
Note: the paddle can help you keep your balance. To do this, hold it in both hands like a balancing pole as you stand up.
Now stand in the center of the board with your legs about hip-width apart.
Grasp the handle of the paddle with one hand. Your other hand grips the handlebar. Your upper arm is extended during the paddling process.
Push the paddle far forward into the water directly next to the board. Your lower arm is also extended.
Pull the paddle towards you with your lower arm along the board, keeping your upper arm extended.
Pull the paddle out of the water at the height of your feet. Repeat the paddling process.

Repairs

WARNING!

Before every use, check the board (1) for pres-sure 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.
Smaller punctures etc. can be repaired using the repair kit (11) supplied.

Valve
To check whether a valve is leaking or defective, proceed as follows:

Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and remove it from the valve (1b).
Ensure that there is no sand or other foreign objects in the valve.
Fully inflate the board (1).
Close the valve.
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:

Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and remove it from the valve (1b).
Place the valve key (8) onto the valve until it fully grips the valve (Fig. G).
Tighten the valve by turning the valve key clockwise.
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. G):
If bubbles are still forming around the valve, even after you’ve tightened it, it will need to be replaced.

Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and remove it from the valve (1b).
Release all of the air from the board.
Place the valve key (8) onto the valve until it fully grips the valve.
Turn the valve key anticlockwise until it can be removed from the board.
Remove the defective valve from the board.
Insert a new valve into the board.
Note: you may order a replacement valve from the customer service address provided. For a better seal, we recommend smearing a little silicone grease or petroleum jelly around the valve.
Place the valve key onto the valve and tighten the valve by turning it clockwise.
Place the valve cover on the valve and tighten it by turning it clockwise.

Leaks
Repair leaks in the board only with a suitable adhesive. An adhesive is included in the package contents. Repairs with unsuitable adhesive can lead to further damage!

You can find suitable adhesives in specialist shops.

Note:
Small leaks (smaller than 2mm) can also be repaired with just the adhesive by applying it directly to the leak. Larger leaks (larger than 2mm) can be repaired as follows:

Completely release the air from the board.
Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired.
Dry the cleaned area.
Cut a patch that is large enough to cover the damaged area and extend 1.5cm around it on all sides.
Apply the adhesive to the leak and to the patch itself. Let the adhesive dry for approx. 2–4 minutes.
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 center.
Let the adhesive dry for at least 12 hours after the repair.
After the drying process is complete, add more adhesive to the edges of the patch.
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 pump is well lubricated before and during operation.
To lubricate it, open the upper lid and apply a thin coat of oil or grease to the seals and the cable.
