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 outer air chamber of the product to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 bar (15psi).
• Inflate the inner air chamber of the product 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 corresponding 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.
• Only insert 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.

1. 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.
2. 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 accompanying QR code with a suitable device.

Assembling the paddle (Fig. B)

1. Release the locking lever (4a) on the extension pole (4).
2. Insert the paddle handle (3) into the extension pole.
3. 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.
4. Press down the locking lever on the extension pole to lock the paddle handle.
   • Note: if the paddle handle (3) can be moved with a closed locking lever (4a), open the locking lever and turn it clockwise until it clamps the paddle sufficiently firmly in its closed state.
5. Insert the open end of the extension pole (4) into the other extension pole (5) and insert this 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!

• Inflate the air chambers in the correct sequence.
• Avoid over-inflating the air chambers, 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.
• Always fully inflate each air chamber.

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.
• Flip the lever on the air pump (7) over to alternate between double-action and single-action (Fig. C).

Inflation sequence

Inflate the chambers in the following sequence:

1. outer air chamber 1.0bar (15psi) 1
2. inner air chamber 1.0bar (15psi) 2

Filling the air chambers is Important!

• The optimal operating pressure for both air chambers is 1.0bar (15psi).
• The inner air 2 chamber expands after inflation and presses on the outer air chamber 1, which can increase the operating pressure of the outer air chamber to more than 1.0bar (15psi).
• Because fluctuations may occur, check the air pressure in the outer air chamber once more after inflating the inner air chamber and adjust the operating pressure accordingly, if necessary.

1. Screw the female thread (8a) of the hose (8) onto the thread (7a) of the air pump (7) (Fig. C).
   • Note: ensure that you screw the hose onto the thread marked ‘INF’.
2. Twist the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise out of the valve (1b) (Fig. D).
3. Place the end of the hose (8b) onto the valve and then screw it in a clockwise direction (Fig. D).
   • Note: the valve pin (1c) of the outer chamber 1 must be in the closed position when doing so (Fig. E). The valve pin of the inner chamber 2 must be in the open position (Fig. D). After inflating the outer chamber, the valve pin of the inner chamber must also be set to the closed position.
4. Inflate the outer air chamber 1 to a maximum of 1.0bar (15psi) with the air pump.
5. Stop inflating once the pressure gauge indicates 1.0 bar or 15 psi.
6. Inflate the inner air chamber 2 to a maximum of 1.0bar (15psi) with the air pump.
7. Stop inflating once the pressure gauge indicates 1.0bar or 15 psi.
8. Turn the end of the hose anticlockwise to remove it from the valve, and place the valve cap onto the valve.
9. Turn the valve cap clockwise to tighten it.
10. Check the operating pressure in the outer air chamber 1 and adjust it if necessary.

Deflating (Fig. E)

1. Turn the valve cap anticlockwise.
2. Remove the valve cap.
3. 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.
4. After deflating, turn the valve by 90° once again. The valve pin returns to its original position.

Mounting the fin (Fig. F)

1. Insert the fin (6), with the rounded bottom end facing forward, into the fin groove (1d) on the underside of the board (1).
   • Note: make sure that you place the fin into the fin groove completely.
2. Insert the pin into the fin groove to secure the fin.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to mount the second fin.

Removing the fin

1. Push in the pin to release it from the fin groove (1d).
2. Pull the fin (6) out of the fin groove.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove the second fin.

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 (11) to the back D-ring (1e), as shown in Figure I.

1. Pull the loop (11b) of the leash through the D-ring.
2. Pull the ankle attachment (11a) through the loop of the leash until there is a knot on the D-ring.

WARNING!

• Never attach the leash (11) to your ankle when you are using the product on stretches of flowing water (e.g. water with rapids and rivers).
• Never attach the leash to your ankle in offshore winds.
• When using the product in deep water, attach the leash to your ankle as shown in Figure J.

Using the dry bag (Fig. K)

A splash-proof dry bag (14) is also included with the product. Smaller objects can be kept in the dry bag.

1. Roll up the closed top edge (14a) of the dry bag several times.
2. Close the buckle (14b) to prevent the dry bag from rolling up.
   • Note: the dry bag is not waterproof. Do not store sensitive objects, e.g. cameras, in the dry bag.

Using the board (Fig. L)

1. Kneel in the middle of the board and support yourself with your arms shoulder-width apart.
2. Lift one foot and place it in line with your hips. Repeat the step with the other foot.
3. 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.
4. Now stand in the center of the board with your legs about hip-width apart.
5. Grasp the handle of the paddle with one hand. Your other hand grips the handlebar. Your upper arm is extended during the paddling process.
6. Push the paddle far forward into the water directly next to the board. Your lower arm is also extended.
7. Pull the paddle towards you with your lower arm along the board, keeping your upper arm extended.
8. 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 for pressure 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.
• Minor damage can be repaired using the repair kit (12) supplied. Valve

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

1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Ensure that there is no sand or other foreign objects in the valve.
3. Fully inflate the board (1).
4. Close the valve.
5. 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:

1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Place the valve key (9) on the valve until it fully grips the valve (Fig. G).
3. Tighten the valve by turning the valve key clockwise.
4. Close the valve with the valve cap and rinse the area of the board around the valve with soapy water. If there are no more bubbles, the valve is tight.

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.

1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise and remove it from the valve (1b).
2. Release all of the air from the board.
3. Place the valve key (9) on the valve until it fully grips the valve.
4. Turn the valve key anticlockwise until the valve can be removed from the board.
5. Remove the defective valve from the board.
6. Insert a new valve into the board.
   • Note: you may order a replacement valve from the customer service address provided. For optimal sealing, we recommend that you smear a little silicone grease or Vaseline around the valve.
7. Place the valve key onto the valve and tighten the valve by turning it clockwise.
8. Place the valve cover on the valve and tighten it by turning it clockwise.

Leaks
Repair leaks in the board using only 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:

1. Completely release the air from the board.
2. Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired.
3. Dry the cleaned area.
4. Cut a patch that is large enough to cover the damaged area and extend 1.5cm around it on all sides.
5. Apply the adhesive to the leak and to the patch itself. Let the adhesive dry for approx. 2–4 minutes.
6. 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.
7. Let the adhesive dry for at least 12 hours after the repair.
8. After the drying process is complete, add more adhesive to the edges of the patch.
9. 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.
