ASSEMBLY
Inflatable SUP – Aquaglide makes some of the highest quality inflatable SUP boards in the world. With
proper care and maintenance, our products are expected to last for years under normal use. We list
important tips and instructions below. If unsure about any point, please reach us through our website at
Aquaglide.com/contact-us.
Air Pump - Use an air pump recommended for inflating your board; a high-volume/ high-pressure
hand pump is included. Other frequently used options are high-volume electrical pumps operating on
either 12v (car battery) or AC mains power (120v or 230v) depending on available power sources. Air
compressors designed for high-pressure inflation are not recommended because they can lead to over-
inflation.
Valve(s) – This board uses a Halkey Roberts – type (HR) valve. HR valve

attaches to product using a threaded backing plate, making it easily
replaceable in the unlikely event of damage.
Access valve by twisting cap counterclockwise. Pull to remove – cap is
attached to valve by lanyard. To close, place cap over valve, twist clockwise to
secure. Note: cap is the secondary air seal. See A.
Valve Operation: To operate Halkey Roberts – type (HR)

valve, press plunger and turn 90 degrees to set valve
for inflate and product use (plunger out = 1-way airflow).
Press plunger and turn 90 degrees to deflate (plunger
in = 2-way airflow). Note: valve is primary air seal. After
inflation, close with cap for secondary seal. See B.

Tie-Downs: Product is fitted with 4 webbing loop tie-
downs for attaching gear such as a cooler. To simplify
attachment, board includes aluminum carabiners for each
tie-down. To avoid stepping on carabiners, use only when
necessary to attach items to board. Open carabiner gate

and slip carabiner through needed tie-down loops. Use webbing rack straps
or strong synthetic rope through carabiners to attach item. Remove unused
carabiners and store on bag. See D.
Universal Mount Plate: Product is fitted with Universal Mount plate designed
to fit a wide range of aftermarket accessories including AG Cupholder, sold
separately. Plate accepts ¼-20 x 7/8" Stainless mounting screws. Internal
hardware is #304 grade Stainless and should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh
water after ocean use. See E.

Proper Working Pressure is listed below. Do not overfill or underfill. Excessive
pressure can cause damage to the product and may void the warranty. Do
not use without adequate air pressure. Product can become unstable if
underfilled and may not support indicated capacity. If in doubt, use a pressure
gauge (manometer) to monitor air pressure in the product.
