INFLATION TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS
• The board can be inflated either with our hand pump or an electric pump. The electric pump
can inflate the board to a moderate pressure and save a lot of time. Inflate the chambers to the
correct pressure (min.12 psi – max.15 psi)
• Do not use an air compressor. Damage to your board caused by over inflation from an air
compressor is not covered by your warranty.
• After 2 or 3 days there may be a small decrease of pressure due to temperature change. If so,
add a few pumps of air.
• 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. A max pressure of 15 psi is adequate. The easiest gauge of a
good working pressure is to have the chambers inflated to a firm pressure when you press on
them.

• Do not pump to a high pressure and let the board sit out in the hot sun. If the board is going
to be in a warm environment, slightly under-inflate the board and allow the heat from the sun to
increase the internal pressure. When paddling, the colder 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.
INSTALLING THE CENTRE FIN
Once the board is inflated, install the centre fin.
Slide the fin into the slot (1) from front to back (2). Once it is fully inserted, secure the fin with
the clip (3).
WINDSURF OPTION
If you have a STX board with windsurf option, your board will have an insert on the top which
fits a regular Windsurf Mastbase (not included) with M8 Thread. Boards with windsurf option
will have a second fin slot on the bottom of the board to accommodate a center fin. If you use
the board as a windsurfboard you should put the extra bigger fin in this slot. If you use the
board as a standup paddle board, the additional center fin is not necessary. ALWAYS USE A
CARDAN JOINT for windsurfing use. Usage of any other base voids warranty.
These boards are made for flatwater use and recreational sailing only.
Always use a
cardan joint.
