SEAT(S) 

Attach the seats by attaching the seat connectors [17-20]. The top connectors 

attach to the forward D-rings and the lower seat straps connect to the rear 
D-ring connectors. You have been provided with an extra cushion block which 
is attached by Velcro to the bottom of the seat [22]. To see if the seat is at the 
right height, place your weight on the seat pushing your lumber region into 
the backrest by arching your back forward then sit up straight. You want to 
feel supported and steady. If you are using the cushion block and the seat is 
slipping or moving around then the seat is set too high so remove it [23]. The 
seat should be set and adjusted to give you the best support and balance whilst 
paddling. You have been provided with an additional velcro strap which you can 
use as a footrest [21].

SKEG/FIN

 

Turn the Kayak over 

and slide the skeg/
fin into the base 
[24-25]. It will only 
slide in one way. 
Slide the locking 
tab into its groove 
until it clicks into 
place [27-29].

PADDLE 

Assembly for the paddle is straight forward, begin by connecting the halves by 

inserting the half with the push pin into the half with the holes.

DEFLATION 

Make sure that the kayak is fully dry before folding and stowing.
Remove all seats, skeg/fin etc. [33] Push down on the valve stem and quarter 
turn to the right. The valve will stay in the down position allowing the air to 
escape [34].

WARNING: DO NOT PLACE FACE DIRECLY OVER VLAVE AS AIR ESCAPES 

AT FORCE AND COULD BE DANGEROUS.

Once you have removed most of the air you can use the pump by changing the 
outlet pipe (‘IN’) [35] and pumping out the last of the air [36-37]. Once you have 
completely deflated the kayak fold the walls over the floor so that the kayak is
