Operating Information
Operators Read! It is the responsibility of the operator of the SUP to know all the laws applicable to
the water ways and to follow those laws when operating. The operator is fully responsible for all
passengers and making sure the passengers have read and understood all rules and warnings that
apply while occupying the product.
Loading
Do not exceed maximum capacity.
• Each person in the board should wear a life jacket (PFD – personal flotation device)
• Paddle should always be carried on board for emergencies.
• All loads should be distributed evenly for proper use.
3 Piece Paddle & Paddling
1. Inflatable boards come with a 3 piece paddle.
2. Paddle is designed to be disassembled into 3 pieces for storage.
3. The top piece of the paddle can be adjusted accordingly to users height.
4. Make sure all 3 pieces are locked before using paddle.
Air Chamber Failure
If a puncture occurs during use, shift all the interior weight to the opposite side. Use your hand or any
available material to prevent further air leakage and get to the nearest shore immediately.
Repair Procedure
Use PVC adhesive found at your local marine store. We suggest Clifton Urethane adhesive. You can
find the glue at www.NRSWEB.com / item #1901.
Before you begin, make sure you are working in a well-ventilated area, climate controlled to at least 70
degrees. It is advised that you wear protective gloves when working with chemicals.
After you have done the repair to the tube, it must sit undisturbed for at least 24 hours. When making
a repair, do not inflate tube to maximum capacity. It is recommended that the tube be deflated for all
repairs.
Repairing Holes in the Tube:
1. The repair of a small leak or puncture less than ½ inch can be done with a round patch, 3 inches
diameter, and minimum.
2. Cut the round patch. Use the patches enclosed with your Inflatable Sport Boards.
3. Place the patch over the area to be repaired, outline with a pen.
4. Wipe patch with clean towel. Using a clean towel, wipe area on the tube to be repaired.
5. Apply 3 thin, even coats of adhesive to the surface of the tube and the patch. Wait 5 minutes
between each coat. After the 3rd coat, wait 10-15 minutes before placing the patch on the tube skin.
6. Allow tube to sit for 24 hours. Don't rush the drying.
7. Air up the tube and check for leaks before use.
Large repairs of PVC or seams: Contact your SUP dealer or manufacture if possible. Alternative is to
send your tube to a professional inflatable boat repair company for repairs. You can look online for
your nearest boat repair company through Google's search engine; enter "inflatable boat repair." Most
dealers of inflatable dinghy boats or white water rafts will have the ability to repair the SUP.
TIP: If you try to repair a small break in the seam, use the repair instructions above. Be sure you allow
for the contour of the tube when letting the area dry. It is sometimes necessary to glue and set a
section, and after it is dry move onto the next section along the contoured area.
