section (7). In doing so, both locking buttons
(6a) must snap audibly and visibly with a
slight offset into the openings (7a) on the
centre section (7).
Note: You have the option of setting the paddle
at two different angles according to your prefer-
ence. When there are two people the paddles
can also be used without the centre section
individually as single-blade paddles.
Duffel bag
The product comes with a duffel bag (14) in
which the kayak can be stowed for transport
and for storage.
To close it use the 200cm cord (9a). The duffel
bag can also be used on board to keep provi-
sions, clothing, etc. protected against splash.
Note: Remember that the duffel bag is not
waterproof. Do not stow any sensitive items such
as cameras in the duffel bag.
For use on board remove the cord and roll the
top end up flat. Then close the duffel bag using
the hook-and-loop fasteners.
Storage bag
In addition, the product also comes with a
splash-proof storage bag (13) which is attached
to the back of the front seat (3) by the hook-and-
loop fasteners. Smaller items can be stowed in
the storage bag.
Note: Remember that the storage bag is not
waterproof. Do not stow any sensitive items in
the bag.
