• When transporting the product, look out for
people who may be standing nearby.
• When using the paddle, look out for people
in the water.
• Wear a wetsuit when paddling in cooler tem-
peratures. There is a risk of hypothermia!
• Familiarise yourself with the body of water
before paddling.
• Never paddle without an additional person
nearby if you are not paddling in safe swim-
ming areas.
• Keep a safe distance from rapids, flotsam and
other obstacles.
• BEWARE OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND CUR-
RENTS! You can be driven off course.
• Do not use in breaking waves.
• Pay attention to the information on the rating
label.
• Always comply with the local maritime navi-
gation rules.
• Do not go paddling when the tide is turning or
when waves are high.
• Do not take any sharp or pointed objects with
you.
• The product should be protected from contact
with potentially unsafe liquids or acids. These
could cause irreparable damage.
• Protect the product from heat and fire! Be
careful with lit cigarettes!
• To avoid damage to the product, ensure that it
does not come into contact with stony ground.
• Never transport the product on vehicles while
the product is still inflated.
• Never leave the product unattended on the
water. It will be carried away too quickly for a
swimmer to be able to retrieve it.
• Before using the product, always make sure
that you have the paddle with you, otherwise
you will not have sufficient control over the
product.
• Do not use the product if it is leaking and
losing air.
• Do not make any technical modifications to
the product. Modifications of any kind will
impair the operability of the product and the
warranty will no longer be valid.
• Never use the product under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
• Never overestimate your strength; always
pace yourself when paddling so that you can
easily retrace the distance you have covered.
Stay within 150m shoreline safety zones and
pay attention to changing winds and currents
that can severely hamper your ability to move
forward.
• When paddling, ensure that your feet do not
become ensnared in the retaining cord or the
handle.
• The product can withstand a maximum load
of 150kg.
• The product can only carry the weight of one
person.
Preventing damage to the product!
• All inflatable products are sensitive to cold.
Never unfold and inflate the product at tem-
peratures below 15°C!
• Inflate the inner air chamber of the product
to a maximum operating pressure of 0.8bar
(12psi).
• Inflate the outer air chamber of the product
to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0bar
(15psi).
• If the air pressure increases in direct sunlight,
this must be rectified by releasing the corre-
sponding amount of air.
Open the valve and release some air if the
pressure is higher than 1bar (15psi).
• Ensure that the product does not come into
contact with stones, gravel or sharp objects,
particularly when inflated, and do not allow it
to rub or scrape against rough surfaces as this
can cause damage.
• Only insert a suitable pump adapter into the
safety valves. Otherwise the valves could be
damaged.
• Do not use a compressor to inflate the prod-
uct.
• Do not over-inflate – this can result in the
seams splitting open. Ensure the valve is firmly
closed after inflating.
• Avoid contact with corrosive, pointy or haz-
ardous items, chemicals or liquids. Should this
happen, check the board thoroughly for leaks
or other damage.
• Keep the product away from fire and hot
items (e.g. lit cigarettes).
