Weather and water conditions:
Always verify the weather and water conditions in the area you will be
paddling. Your SUP is only designed for use in sheltered waters, lakes and
slow moving streams. Your SUP is not recommended for white water use.
NEVER go on water in severe winds, rain, thunderstorms, choppy waters,
strong currents, flood waters, or where tides will seriously affect your ability
to steer your SUP back to shore.
