Never leave the product in the water unattended.
A current can quickly sweep the product away
so that a swimmer cannot retrieve it.
Unrolling the board
Select an even, clean surface with enough
room to unpack and unfold the product.
Remove all product packaging.
Verify that all parts are present and in good
condition.
Unroll the board
. When unrolling it ensure
1
there are no sharp objects such as shards of
glass, loose gravel, glowing charcoal or ciga-
rette butts on the ground.
Note: Check the board for any damage such
as holes and tears the second time it is assem-
bled or sooner. Please refer to chapter "Repair
and maintenance" on how to repair these. Dam-
age cannot be repaired once you are on the
water.
Inflating the board
Avoid overinflating to prevent the welded
seams from over-expanding or even rupturing.
Only inflate up to a pressure of 1 bar (15 PSI).
The air pressure will increase when the product
heats up from the sun. In this case, reduce the air
pressure by releasing air from the board
Inflate the board
with the included air pump
1
. You can alternatively use a standard foot
13
pump or twin stroke piston pump with the cor-
responding attachments and a pressure gauge.
Only open the valve needle
flate or release air. They can otherwise
become dirty.
The area around the valve
be dry and clean. Check the valve
particles.
Ensure sand or other dirt does not enter the
valve
.

You may also use hand pump or electric pumps
with a compressor that has an automatic switch-
off function. These pumps are pre-set to 15 PSI;

the pump automatically shuts off when this air

Regular compressors without a switch-off
function should not be used to pump up SUP
boards.

Set the air pump

the front lever to the right (Fig. B2). Now inflate
the board
.

Once you notice a lot of force is required, set
the air pump
to single stroke by moving the
13
front lever to the left (Fig. B1). You can now
continue inflating with considerably less force.
Note: Do not pull the handle on the air pump
all the way up, only far enough so your arms
13
remain straight (Fig. F2). Now use the weight
of your body to inflate the product by simply
bending at the knees. Keep your arms straight.
This way you are not inflating with your arm
muscles but the weight of your body (Fig. F3).
Inflate the board
1
the recommended pressure of 1 bar (15 PSI).
Use the pressure gauge to check the pressure.
Stop inflating the product once the pressure
gauge reads 1 Bar (15 PSI).
Inflate in the following order:
1. The valves are marked 1 and 2. Open both valve
caps
by unscrewing them anti-clockwise.

2. First inflate the air chamber with valve number 1:
Put valve 1 in closed position by turning the valve
head so it comes out upward (Fig. C1) and put
valve 2 in open position by turning the valve
head so that it pushes downward (Fig. C4).
3. Insert the hose connection
and screw the hose end clockwise from the
valve
.
