STORAGE
•
Keep your SUP in a well-ventilated and shaded area when you do not use it.
Your SUP can be damaged if it is exposed to direct sunlight for a period of time.
•
Limit exposure of the deck-side of the SUP to direct sunlight. While in use, water
flowing over the deck helps regulate surface temperature. However, when the
deck traction pad is dry, the heat absorption effect is amplified when exposed to
direct sunlight.
•
At approximately 165°F/74°C, the EPS foam begins outgassing, becomes unstable
and delaminates.
•
Leaving your SUP in a vehicle during the day, even on a mild day, increases the
risk of delamination.
•
Do not store your SUP in a SUP bag for extended periods of time. SUP bags are
intended for transportation only, not for full time storage. Prolonged storage of
a wet SUP in a wet bag may lead to the possibility of mold and osmotic blisters.
SUP bags also collect heat and can potentially overheat your board.
FIN INSTALLATION
Attach the fin firmly before using your SUP. Remove the fin after each use to
keep it in good condition. The fin box, watertight skin and foam core may be
badly damaged if the fin is damaged while it is attached to the SUP.
INSTALLATION
1. Unscrew the bolt and the square nut from the fin.

3. Insert the fin into the SUP’s groove and align the
bolt’s hole with the nut previously installed. Screw
lightly and push backward.
4. Place the bolt and screw firmly.
REMOVAL
Reverse steps, 4 through 1.
