be exposed to direct sunlight. The air inside the tubes can become heated to such an extent that air
expansion can result in damage to the SUP. Do not under any circumstances inflate the SUP with a
mechanical compressor. The supplied pump will ensure that the SUP is inflated to the right pressure.
Deflating
REMARK: the SUP should be clean and dry before it is stored. Remove sand and grime from the SUP.
Deflating the SUP
Place the SUP on the ground. Remove the valve cap. Use your finger to slightly open the valve with the
valve stem so that the air can gradually escape. This slow release is to prevent the rubber washer in the
valve from being dislodged by the rapidly-escaping airflow. Once the initial pressure has been released,
you can further depress the valve stem, give it a quarter turn and lock it so that all the air can escape
before the SUP is rolled up. Place even pressure on the whole SUP to force out as much air as possible.
Folding the SUP
Place the SUP on a clean surface. Roll the SUP along the deck from its bow with the footpad on the inside
and the fins on the outside. When the SUP is folded like this, it will fit perfectly inside the supplied carry
bag/backpack.
Sunlight
The SUP must not be exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Resulting increased pressure in the air
chambers can damage the SUP. Long-term and excessive exposure to the sun (ultraviolet rays) can
shorten the lifespan of the fabric. If the SUP is on dry land for a long period of time, cover it and shield it
from direct sunlight.
Use above sea level
The regular fully-inflated air pressure of the SUP should be 14-15 PSI (max 1 bar). If the SUP is inflated
at sea level and is then transported to an area above sea level (such as a mountainous lake), the pressure
must be reduced at the higher location to prevent over-pressurisation.
General care
Detergents
Domestic detergents may be used in moderation, but must not be released into the environment. Never
mix detergents and ensure adequate ventilation when working in restricted areas. DO NOT use powerful
cleaning agents, solvents, products that contain phosphates, chlorine or solvents, or products that are
non-biodegradable or oil-based. Lemonbased detergents are ideal for cleaning SUP's and will not harm
you or the environment. We recommend that you clean your SUP using water and regular soap.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE detergents or cleaning agents that contain alcohol or hydrocarbons. These
substances willdry the outer skin of the SUP and can damage it. If deformed during storage or transport,
bent rubber fins (2 fixed to the underside of the SUP) can be straightened by applying constant pressure
and moderate heat.
Repairs
Beware:
Prevent serious or fatal accidents resulting from fire, explosions or poisoning. The adhesive and solvents
used for repairs to the SUP are toxic and highly flammable. As a precaution, always do the related work
outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Keep well away from open flames, sparks or devices with pilot lights.
Inhalation of fumes or contact with the skin can be harmful to your health. Do not inhale the fumes and
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. Wear a respiratory mask and protective clothing to shield exposed
skin.
