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 de-
scribed 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)
1. Release the locking lever (4a) on the exten-
sion 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 in order to lock the paddle handle.
Note: if the paddle handle (3) can be moved
with closed locking lever (4a), open the locking
lever and turn clockwise until it clamps the pad-
dle handle sufficiently firmly in its closed state.
5. 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
pin-hole 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 ex-
posed 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 appropri-
ate 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 pres-
sure 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 single action (Fig. C).
• Insert the fastener (6b) into the opening pro-
vided (6c) to switch to double action (Fig. C).
Inflating the air chamber
Important!
The optimal operating pressure is 1.0bar
(15psi).
1. 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 on to the
thread marked with 'IN'.
2. Twist the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise out of
the valve (1b) (Fig. D).
3. Place the end of the hose (7b) onto the
valve and screw it tight in a clockwise direc-
tion (Fig. D).
Note: the valve pin (1c) must be in the closed
position when doing so (Fig. E).
4. Inflate the board to a maximum of 1.0bar
(15psi) with the air pump.
5. Stop inflating once the pressure gauge
indicates 1.0bar or 15psi.
6. Turn the end of the hose anticlockwise to
remove it from the valve, and place the valve
cap onto the valve.
7. Turn the valve cap clockwise to tighten it.
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 (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.
2. Insert the pin into the fin groove to secure the
fin.
Removing the fin
1. Push in the pin to release it from the fin
groove.
2. 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
determining the correct length for any particular
height.
We recommend following this formula to
determine the correct length: height + 20cm
(8inches).
You can also determine the paddle length in the
following way:
1. Raise your non-dominant arm straight over-
head.
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.
1. Pull the loop (10b) of the leash through the
D-ring.
2. 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)
1.
Kneel in the middle of the board and sup-
port yourself with your arms shoulder-width
apart.
2.
Lift one foot up and place it in line with
your hips. Repeat the step with the other
foot.
3.
Slowly straighten up from the squat posi-
tion. Keep your knees slightly bent and shift
your weight backwards.
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 centre 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 handle
bar. 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.
Transporting the product in the
backpack
Note: the backpack is intended to be used
exclusively for the transport and storage of the
SUP board and its accessories.
