Inflation/Pump Use Tips:
Because you will be inflating your SUP to such a high pressure, please follow these suggestions to help you with inflation.
1. Stand the pump on hard level ground when inflating the SUP.
2. Make sure to keep your hands towards the center of the pump handles when inflating and keep your feet firmly
on the foot rests. Make sure that you are standing directly over the pump so that you can utilize your body as
much as your arms while inflating (this will come in handy as you get the SUP up to higher pressure).
3. When the SUP begins to reach 7.0 psi or higher, you may experience resistance in the pump. The best way to
inflate your SUP to 8.0 psi or a little higher (Remember DO NOT exceed 9.0 psi) is to use your body weight on
the down stroke and use your leg strength for the up stroke.
3 Accessories
Your SUP has d-rings located in various locations for use in attaching a small cargo bag and the shoulder carry strap.
Simply attach the shoulder carry strap to the d-rings on the side of the board for easy transport and then remove the
carry strap before going out on the water. The large d-ring at the tail of the SUP is for a surfboard ankle leash. Using an
ankle leash is a great safety measure to ensure that you will not become separated from your board if you fall off, but it
is not always practical or necessary for each situation. The best use for an ankle leash would be for general paddling or
on days when there are high winds.
4 Deflation and Break-down
1. To deflate and break-down your SUP, just remove the valve cap and push in the valve stem turning it clockwise a
quarter turn to lock it in the deflate position.
2. Un-hook the Fins by pressing the Fin holders close together and popping the Fins off.
3. Roll the SUP up with the top side facing out (this will push out all of the air), and put away in its bag.
5 Care and Maintenance
Very little needs to be done to care for and maintain your SUP.
1. To clean your SUP, just use a mild detergent and warm water. You should rinse your SUP off with fresh water
after using it in salt water.
2. To ensure that your SUP lasts for years to come, do not store it in direct sunlight uncovered or in extremely hot
or cold temperatures for long periods of time, i.e. months. Exposing your SUP to these kinds of elements, such
