Paddling Notes
Date Time Location Notes
It is always a good idea to keep notes of your paddling experiences. Your
notes can serve as a reminder of what to look out for, as well as what gear to
bring along, and what conditions are like.
5. REPAIRS
All Kayaks come with a repair kit that includes glue and several patches. This
should remain with the kayak in the event that you may need it.
TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES AND CUTS:
1. Cut a rounded patch at least ¼” or ½” larger than the hole or cut.
2. Clean the area where the patch will be placed with water and/or mild soap.
3. Make sure all surfaces are dry.
4. Spread a thin layer of glue on both the patch and on the damaged area and let
it sit for three to five minutes or until tacky.
5. Press the patch onto the desired area, making sure that no air bubbles form.
6. Apply pressure evenly to the patch by placing weight on it. Do not peel back.
7. Do not inflate the boat for at least twelve (12) hours.
