Assembling the double-bladed pad-
dle (fig. B)
1. Push a drip ring (8) over both ends of each
paddle tube so that the rings sit below the
locking button (6a) and the taper of the tube.
2. Insert the two paddle tubes (6) into the centre
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 (15) 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 (14) 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.
Disassembling the kayak
Remove the front seat, stern splash guard with
seat, bowsprit guard, and triangular cushion.

1. To deflate air chambers with stopper valves
pull the stopper valves (1d) out of the recesses
(fig. J) and press the stems together lightly or
use the deflation tube (12) (fig. M).
2. To deflate air chambers with screw-on valves,
unscrew the screw-on valves (10b) from the
base (1c) and let the air out completely
(fig. I).

Storage, cleaning
WARNING!
Use only care products containing no
acid or petroleum components and nev-
er use silicon-based products.
Always store the product deflated, clean, and
dry at room temperature and out of the reach
of rodents. The valves should always be closed
during storage. Make sure that the product is
stored flat, not twisted.
1. Clean your kayak thoroughly each time after
use by rinsing it with clean water and mild
soap to get rid of salt crystals, grains of sand,
and other tiny contaminants. Then allow it to
dry completely.
2. Let the air out of all air chambers completely.
3. Lay the two upper side chambers inside the
kayak and then fold it up carefully.

When there is more serious damage
you should not under any circumstance
perform repairs yourself.
You can repair minor damage with the repair kit
(13) supplied.
