Deflation; Transport, Storage - Cressi Kinilau User Manual

Deflation

Remove all accessories before deflating.
Make sure that the valve is clean and dry to prevent water and/or particles from
getting into the board when you open the valve. It's important to keep your eyes and
face away from the jet of air.
To deflate the SUP you need to unscrew the safety cap and press down the valve
stem, blocking it in the down position.
Once the valve stem is down, simply roll up the SUP like a sleeping bag, starting from
the bow and forcing the remaining air out of the valve.
Once all the air is extracted, simply press the down the valve stem to block it in the
up position.
This way, air won't be able to enter or exit the board (unless you connect the pump).
Transport
To correctly transport the board, after a quick clean, simply deflate and roll it
up starting from the bow with the pad facing upward to keep the fins fastened
externally.
Put the board into the backpack first, and then insert all the other accessories
beginning with the largest: pump, paddle, fin, leash, etc.
Storage
WARNING
Do not leave the SUP inflated in the sun on overly hot days. The hot temperatures
create internal pressure increases that can damage it.
Sunlight and salt water are very damaging. Make sure you rinse the board with tap
water after each use and wait for it to dry completely before storing it.
Fresh water, a sponge, and soap is sufficient for cleaning away most dirt. Only use
eco-friendly products and do not dispose of them in the sea; wash SUP on land.
Ideal storage is in a closed room that is not exposed to high temperatures.
The SUP can be stored inflated or rolled. In the latter case we recommend
positioning the product parallel to the floor (not on its sides) to avoid warping,
with approximately 5 PSI of inflation to make it easier to roll up.
