Remove all product packaging.
Verify that all parts are present and in good
condition.
When unrolling the board
1
, ensure there are
no sharp objects such as shards of glass, loose
gravel or glowing charcoal or cigarette butts
are on the ground.
Note: Check the board for any damage such
as holes and tears the second time it is assem-
bled or sooner. Please refer to chapter ”Repair
and maintenance” how to repair these. Damage
cannot be repaired once you are on the water.
Unroll the board
1
and remove the plastic
foam fin protector
15
from the two fins.
Note: Do not throw away the fin protector
15
.
These are required to protect the fixed fins when
rolling up the board
1
after use.
Inflating the board
Avoid overinflating to prevent the welded
seams from over-expanding or even rupturing.
Only inflate up to a pressure of 1 bar (15 PSI).
The air pressure will increase when the product
heats up from the sun. In this case, reduce the air
pressure by releasing air from the board
1
.
Inflate the board
1
with the included air pump
13
. You can alternatively use a standard foot
pump or twin stroke piston pump with the cor-
responding attachments and a pressure gauge.
Only open the valves
1a
to inflate or
release air. They can otherwise become
dirty.
The area around the valve
1a
must always
be dry and clean. Check the valve
1a
for dirt
particles.
Ensure sand or other dirt does not enter the
valve
1a
.
You may also use electric pumps designed spe-
cifically for SUP boards. These pumps are pre-
set to 15 PSI; the pump automatically shuts off
when this air pressure is reached.
Screw the threaded coupler
14a
of the hose
14
onto the male thread
13a
of the connector on
the air pump
13
. Be sure to screw the hose
14
onto the thread marked ”INF” (Fig. B).
Set the air pump
13
to twin stroke by moving
the front lever to the right (Fig. F1). Now inflate
the board
1
.
Once you notice a lot of force is required, set
the air pump
13
to single stroke by moving the
front lever to a vertical position. You can now
continue inflating with considerably less force.
Note: Do not pull the handle on the air pump
13
all the way up, only far enough so your arms
remain straight (Fig. F2). Now use the weight
of your body to inflate the product by simply
bending at the knees. Keep your arms straight.
This way you are not inflating with your arm
muscles but the weight of your body (Fig. F3).
Inflate the board
1
with the air pump
13
to
the recommended pressure of 1 bar (15 PSI).
Use the pressure gauge to check the pressure.
Stop inflating the product once the pressure
gauge reads 1 Bar (15 PSI).
Inflate in the following order:
1. First inflate the air chamber with valve number
1. The valves are marked 1 and 2.
2. Turn the valve head clockwise so it comes out
upward (Fig. C1).
3. Then open valve 2 and turn the valve head an-
ti-clockwise whilst pushing down (Fig. C4).
Your board
1
is now ready to inflate.
4. Start with valve 1 by inserting the hose
14
into
the valve
1a
and securing it all the way clock-
wise (Fig. C2).
Note: The valve head must be in the closed
position.
5. Then inflate the second air chamber via valve
2. To do so, turn the valve head clockwise so
it comes out upward (Fig. C1), insert the pump
hose the same as with valve 1 and start inflat-
ing. Since the inner air chamber is small, leave
the front lever on the air pump
13
vertical to
inflate using little force.
6. Unscrew the hose end anti-clockwise from the
valve
1a
and attach the valve cap
1e
to the
valve
1a
.
7. Tighten the valve cap
1e
, turning clockwise.
