MAINTENANCE
DETACHABLE SKEG
It is recommended to use the detachable skeg in deep water (lake, sea) where it
will allow you to move forward in a straight line. Do not use it in shallow water or
white water: the skeg would deteriorate the bottom of the board in shallow water
and reduce the maneuverability in white water. This detachable skeg can be
installed anytime whether the board is fully inflated or deflated. After the skeg is
assembled, please push the lock pin in the skeg base hole not to release the
skeg. The curvature of the skeg must be pointed towards the back end of the
board.
Before Assembly After Assembly
1. To deflate the board, remove the valve cap from the valves in the board.
2. Clean and check the board as well as all the accessories. Make sure the board is completely dry before putting it away.
Make sure that no sand nor gravel remains inside the board nor between the hull and the inner chambers: this could result in
abrasion or even punctures while storing the board.
3. Roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from the valves).
4. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place.
• Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid inhaling glue vapors.
• Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes.
• Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc) away from the reach of children.
• The repairs on the welds must not be glued. Only the manufacturer of the board can perform repairs on
the welds themselves.
Whenever you take your board out of the water and deflate it, allow time for it to air out and dry. Neither the
skin/hull or the inside chambers will suffer from water damage, but stagnant water could cause mildew and foul
odor.
Check that the tube is fully deflated and lies flat.
1. Prepare a round patch no less than 3 inches or 7 centimeters in diameter.
2. Clean the patch and the area surrounding the leak with Alcohol.
3. To contain excess glue, use masking tape to tape off the area around the patch.
4. Apply 3 thin, even coats of repair kit adhesive to both the surface of the board and the patch. Wait 5 minutes between each coat.
5. After the 3rd coat, wait 10-15 minutes before applying the patch. Use a hand roller to apply the patch evenly. Pay special attention to the
edges.
6. Wait 24 hours before re-inflating.
