- Page 14 Sec 3.6 DEFLATING AND RE-PACKING YOUR BOARD Boards may be left inflated in between uses and can be transported on a vehicle using approved canoe/kayak tie-down straps and racks. Remember that if your board is left in the sun and hot weather the pressure inside the board can increase. If this is a possibility we recommend deflating your board by 2-5psi when not on the water.
- Page 15 Step 2B: For the most compact re-packing (useful if you have limited storage space or plan to travel). To remove the maximum amount of air from the board use your inflation pump in reverse. To do this attach the hose to the “DEFLATE” side of the pump. When you pump the air will now be coming out of the board.

Page 16: Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my board has fixed fins instead of removable fins? Fixed fins are used on our hybrid SUP-Kayak models because they work great for both paddle board and kayak use. They are extremely durable, flexible, cannot get lost and do not need to be replaced. - Page 17 Ensure the hose is securely connected to the pump. Check to make sure it is not cross-threaded – if it is you will need to unscrew the hose and re-thread. Inspect the hose for any holes or cracks. If any are found contact us for a replacement.
- Page 18 The individual pieces of your paddle can sink if they fall in the water when not assembled! We recommend assembling and taking your paddle apart on land. How long should my SUP paddle be? In general your paddle should be around 8 inches taller than you are.
- Page 19 Which way should I hold the paddle for SUP use? The paddle blade should be canted forwards, towards the nose of the board.
- Page 20 4.8 REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE What is included in the repair kit? The repair kit includes a valve wrench and PVC patches. The wrench is used to tighten the valve in the event it may be loose, or to remove and replace the valve. These are not routine maintenance procedures.
