ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Any use of an air compressor will damage your product and automatically void all warranties.
Prior to first use inflate the board indoors at room temperature for easy assembly. If it was stored at a temperature
below 0°C / 32°F, leave it at 20°C / 68°F for 12 hours before un- folding the board. Inflate the board with the pump
provided from Cala Boards or any inflator designed for inflatable boats, rafts, pool floats, air beds, camping mattres
-
ses, and other low pressure inflatables. These types of pumps will have a hose and adapters to fit the valve on this
product.
1. Place the board on a clean smooth surface. Remove paddles and other accessories from the board.
2. Remove the fin and fin hardware from fin box. Screw the fin hardware back onto the fin or place fin hardware in the repair kit. Clean
the board of debris and rinse with fresh water if used in salt water.
3. Open the velcro flap on the pad (if your board has one) and unscrew the plastic valve cover. Push in on the spring loaded pin and while
applying pressure turn it clockwise so it locks in the down position. The valve is open and air should instantly begin to leave the board and
will deflate naturally.
4. Once the board is no longer deflating, roll it up from the opposite end of the valve so the remaining air can escape from the valve.
Return the spring loaded pin to the up position. If you have a retaining strap retie the board together, then place the board in the bag.
Secure the board in the bag with the straps inside the bag if your bag has them. Breakdown the 3-piece paddle place it in the bag as well
as the pump and fin and zip the bag up.
5. Use a mild soapy solution to clean the board, do not use detergents or any type of silicone-based products.
6. When storing your inflatable board for short term or long term make sure it’s dry and clean in the bag. Store it in a clean, dry place, avoid
excessive heat and away from rodents. The inflatable board can be open and lightly inflated but store on a flat surface to prevent warping.
Deflate air out of your board if it’s going to be left out in the sun on a hot day.
The ambient temperature affects the tube’s internal pressure: a variation of 1°C causes a variation of
the pressure in the tube of +/- 4 mBar.
Your Cala 3-piece paddle connects using a secure spring pin system and adjustable clamp lever. When fully
disassembled, the paddle fits into the carry bag provided.
Connect the tube of the blade (figure 1) with the small end of shaft (figure 2) by slotting them together and twisting
until the metal pin pops into the hole.
Slot the handle (figure 3) into the other end of the shaft by lifting the lever and sliding the tube into the desired
length. The numbers on the tube indicate the length of the paddle. Close the lever tightly.
Be careful to not pinch finger tips when connecting the two paddle shafts.
Inflate your Cala Board.
1.
Remove the board from the backpack and discard any packaging. Unfold the board deck pad facing up on a
smooth and clean surface.
2
. To access the valve for inflation pull up on the corner of the velcro pad (if your board comes with one) and unscrew
the plastic valve cap by turning it counter-clockwise. The spring loaded pin is now exposed.
3.
Press the spring loaded pin counter-clockwise so the pin is in the up position. The pin is
now locked up and ready for inflation. The pin should always be in the up position for inflation. If the spring loaded
pin is pressed down and turned clockwise the valve is open and will not hold air if pumped in the down position.
4.
Attach the hose to the pump on the side that says “out” that is molded on the plastic. If you do not see the label
attach the hose and if you feel resistance while pumping the hose has been inserted into the correct opening. The
red plug on the pump can be plugged in for faster inflation. Air will pump on the down and up motion. If it becomes
too difficult remove the red plug for easier inflation. Air will pump on the down motion only but will take longer to
inflate board.
5.
Now that the pump is assembled and the spring loaded pin is in the up position the board is ready for inflation.
Insert the pump hose by pushing it into the valve on the board and turn clockwise to insure a proper seal. You can
begin pumping up and down watching the pressure gauge to reach 15 PSI. For cold water paddling place the inflated
board into the water, rein- sert your pump hose and pump the board up again until it reaches 15 PSI.
6.
Once the desired PSI is reached, unscrew the pump hose, replace the plastic valve cover and secure the velcro pad
down if your board comes with one.

FIN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This inflatable SUP comes with a standard 10’ fin box. The fin box is designed to use the
standard Cala fin as well as most after-market fins. Your fin should fit tightly into the fin box.
Remove the fin hardware from the fin and position the plate as far forward as possible in the fin box.
Insert the fin into the fin box and choose the location of placement. Press and clic it, now is secure
the fin and plate securely together. The fin should be tight within the finbox.
