HOW TO USE
(Standing, using a standard paddle board paddle.)
• Stand in a comfortable stance with your feet shoulder width
apart and keep your knees slightly bent, keep your shoulders
back, and look straight ahead.
• Grab your paddle and place one hand on top end of paddle
palm down and your other hand approximately 24" down shaft
of paddle. Paddle in a forward motion, with your arms
slightly bent.
• To turn left paddle on the right side of the SUP.
To turn right paddle on the left side of the SUP.
When inflating for the first time, inflate indoors at room tempera-
ture – the PVC will be soft and assembly will be easier. If the item
was stored below 0°C / 32°F, leave it at 20°C / 68°F for 12 hours
before unfolding. Inflate it with the high pressure pump included
with the board. This pump has an adapter to fit the flush valve.
Using an air compressor will damage your product and
automatically void all warranties.
INFLATING YOUR BOARD
Valve Operation: Inflation valve is located at the front of the board.
The valve must be in the closed position for inflation to take place,
make sure that the center valve pin is "up". If valve pin is "down",
press down on the valve pin and turn it counterclockwise until it
pops up to the closed position.Lock the valve cover over the valve
stem once inflation is complete. This will prevent any accidental air
from releasing or the entrance of any particles into the valve and
interior air chamber.
INFLATION SEQUENCE
Before inflating, affix the fins to the fittings on the bottom of the
board. To do so, squeeze the fittings together and snap the fins
into place.
1. Make sure that the valve pin is up and in the closed position.
2. Make sure the pump hose is attached to the "inflate" port
of the pump handle.
3. Connect the pump hose nozzle into the valve.
4. Pump air into the SUP by pulling the pump handle up and
down.
INFLATION TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS
• The board can be inflated either with the included hand pump
SUB owners manual-106-2013.indd 2
WARNING!
CAUTION !
or an electric air pump. The electric air pump can inflate the
board to a moderate pressure but you will need to use your hand
pump to inflate the air chamber to the correct 10-12 PSI.
• Air compressors should NOT be used to inflate your SUP.
Compressors generate to much pressure and will damage your
SUP. Damage caused by over inflation from an air compressor is
not and will not be covered by your warranty.
• Always check pressure before use. Over time the air chamber
will lose air so it should always be checked.
• Inflate the board for a full 24 hours to be sure the board is
airtight before use. If you are seeing a dramatic decrease in air
pressure, see the instructions for leak detection in the board
repair section of this manual.
• Do not over-inflate. Max pressure of 10-12 PSI is adequate.
• Do not let the SUP sit in the sun for an extended time when
under full pressure. If the SUP is going to be in a warm/hot or
sunny environment, release some air pressure in the board.
Before use reinflate to the proper PSI. Water temperature may
also cause a slight loss in chamber pressure. It is good practice
to place your SUP in the water for several minutes to let it adjust
to its new environment and then recheck chamber pressure.
It is a good idea to carry a pump and pressure gauge with you
so that you can add some air to the chamber if necessary.
• Check air pressure often with provided gauge.
WARNING !
If you leave your product exposed to the hot sun check the
pressure and deflate it slightly, to avoid overstretching
the material. The ambient temperature affects the board's internal
pressure: a variation of 1.8°F (1°C) causes a variation of the
pressure in the tube of 0.06PSI (+/- 4 mBar).
DEFLATION SEQUENCE
1. Clear any water or fragments out from around the valve area
before removing valve cover.
2. Press down on the valve pin to let air out of the SUP.
Once air starts to release you can press the valve pin in all
the way and turn it clockwise to the open locked position.
3. Remove the 3 fins. Leave the valve open while you roll it up
towards the valve.
4. Close the valve to prevent moisture and debris from being
sucked inside as the air re-enters while you let go of the SUP
5. Cinch the tightly rolled up board with the belt-strap included.
6. Never leave a wet board in the bag for more than one or
two days. As soon as possible unroll it and let it dry.
7. Use fresh water for cleaning the SUP.
Stubborn stains can be cleaned with a mild soap detergent.
BOARD CARE AND STORAGE
When storing Your Stand Up Paddleboard, avoid storing in direct
sunlight or in harsh weather conditions.
• Before storing, hose off the SUP with fresh water and let it dry
completely to prevent mildew buildup.
• Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning.
• Stubborn stains can be cleaned with a mild soap detergent.
• Storage of the SUP can be inflated or deflated. If you choose to
deflate the board, it is recommend that you store it in the
storage bag that came with the SUP.
• If storing the SUP outdoors, Keep it off the ground and
covered with a tarp to prevent exposure to the elements.
• Hanging the SUP is not recommend.
• Do not store in extreme hot or cold conditions.
• Be sure to store your SUP in a clean, dry area.
Should it ever become necessary to repair your SUP, please use the
patches provided. Please use any good PVC cement available in hard-
ware stores. Many states have laws preventing us from mailing glue.
DETECTION OF LEAKS AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Your new stand up paddleboard is made from a durable PVC. If a
tear or puncture does occur, PVC is very easy to repair. Repairs are
easily done with your included patch kit. Read the following para-
graphs for leak detection and repair tips.
LEAK DETECTION
If you are experiencing air pressure loss, not caused by colder tem-
peratures, you need to check the board for leaks, starting with the
valve location. To locate a leaks, 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 or make sure the valve pin is in the fully up
position and the valve is free from any debris keeping the pin from
fully closing. If you continue to have problems you may need to
order a new valve. The valve can be tightened or removed and re-
placed with the valve wrench tool that comes with the SUP.
