>⃝●
Never leave your Board in direct sunlight. Excessive
temperature can damage the PVC and increase pressure, risk
breaking welds and causing leaks.
>⃝●
After each use, rinse your Board in fresh water with the
valve closed and let it dry before storing it in its bag.
>⃝●
Do not leave your Board inflated for long periods of time.
If you choose not to deflate it for storage, you should still
deflate it slightly (enough to being able to easily sink your
thumb in the board) to lower the pressure in it. Then store it in
a clean and dry place.

The HIPE PERF is designed for recreational use in Surf foil, Kite foil, SUP
foil and Wing foil. It offers you the performance in terms of stiffness of a rigid
board without the fragility on impact and bulk. But it is not intended for use in
competition or rental.

When folding it, do not overtighten your Board along the Carbon Plate.
>⃝●
When navigating, avoid rocky areas or sandbanks. A sudden impact with the
bottom can damage your Board.
>⃝●
In case of loss, do not replace your non-through brass inserts with through
inserts. You risk piercing your Board by screwing your Top Plate onto the Board.
>⃝●
Do not leave sand in the Board's US rails or footstrap inserts.
>⃝●
Observe the pressure recommendations for inflating your Board between 15
and 20 PSI. Do not under-inflate or over-inflate your board.
>⃝●
Do not allow your Board to fall on the ground hard on the Carbon Plate.
Preserve your equipment.
>⃝●
Make sure sand can never get into the Valve or Board. This could cause
damage.
>⃝●
In order to ensure the longevity and the good functioning of your Pump, do
not hesitate to check from time to time the lubrication of the piston inside your
Pump by adding silicone grease if necessary.
>⃝●
Despite all your precautions, and the solidity of the PVC, it is possible that
you manage to pierce your Board on a very sharp rock for example. The
marine grade PVC glue needed for the job can be found at any hardware store or
specialty boat shop.

INFLATION
Inflate your Board with the GONG Pump supplied with your Board. This pump has the
required inflation capabilities, tips and seals compatible with the Valve of your Board.
❶
Choose a soft, clean surface to unroll your
material.
❸
Make sure the Valve knob is in the up
position for the inflation phase. Just press
the button and turn it to the right or left. If you do
not follow this recommendation, the board will
deflate when removing the hose from the valve.
❺
Inflate to the required pressure which should be
between
15 and 20
PSI. It is normal to hear a
small whistling of air at the Pump hose during
inflation. Indeed, the tightness of the pipe is never
perfect, but the losses are insignificant. Likewise,
the Pressure Gauge needle will only begin
to move when the internal pressure of the
board exceeds 5 PSI: it is therefore normal that

Before proceeding with your first inflation, tighten
the valve with the black key that comes in the repair

it does not work from the first strokes Pump.
❻
Once the Board is inflated, disconnect the tip of
the pump, turning it a quarter turn and close the
Valve cap to seal it.
