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 deflate the board and
allow the heat from the sun to increase the internal pressure. When paddling,
the lower 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.
ALU telescopic ISUP paddle
Your board paddle comes in three pieces. To build the paddle, hold the button in
while sliding the pieces together until they click into place. The last section(top)
of the paddle is adjustable.To find the ideal height for your paddle, start by
building the paddle so it is 6 inches taller than your own height. From this point,
adjust the top section up or down until the length is comfortable for you. a longer
paddle is better suited for a smooth, easier paddling motion. A shorter paddle is
good for performance or competition riding.
After closing the button, if you find that the adjustable section is a little loose,
please tighten the screw properly with a screwdriver.
Features:
Adjustable length from 160-210cm
Light and FLOATING, 960g
Shaft of 29 and 27mm in alloy 6005-T6
Compact: removable in 3 parts of 79cm

LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
Air Leak Detection
If the board is losing air pressure, not caused by lower temperature, check the
board for leaks, starting with the valves. A leaking valve is rare, but if you do find
a leak, we recommend that you tighten it with the included wrench. To locate a
leak, we recommend mixing soap and water in a spray bottle, spray around the
valve. If you see bubbles forming, check your valve seating and base and be
sure the valve insert is screwed tight. If you continue to have problems, please
contact us.
If the board is losing air and the valves are good, it probably has a small
puncture. Small punctures can be repaired easily and permanently. Spray
around the board until air bubbles become visible and mark the position of the
leak. If you do not find air bubbles, inflate the board to maximum air pressure
and try to listen to find the leak, if you can narrow the area down, return with a
spray bottle to identify the source of the leak.
Repair Kit
Punctures less than 1/8" in size can be repaired simply without a patch. Deflate
your board, then clean and dry the area to be repaired. Apply a small drop of
glue to cover the puncture, and let it dry 12 hours.
If your board needs repair,use the patches in the repair kit and follow these
steps:
Deflate the board completely, lay it flat and wait for it to dry.
Cut a patch that is 2 inches larger than the tear/rip all the way around.
Use alcohol to clean the repair area.
Apply three coats of adhesive to the patch and the board. Wait 5 minutes in
between each coat.
Place the patch over the tear/rip. The adhesive will react quickly, so make sure
the positioning is precise/accurate. Use the roller to ensure the patch lays flat
and even.
Wait 24 hours before re-inflating the board.
