General Guidlines
Always Never
The S1 was designed to enjoy smooth waterways such as harbors, inlets, bays and lakes with no previous maritime experi-
ence. As with any small marine craft, safety should be your number one priority.
You should always wear a coast guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) and ride in conditions that you are confi-
dent and comfortable in. It is not recommended to ride your S1 in surf conditions, or river rapids of any category – this will
void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Please thoroughly read this manual and familiarize yourself with your S1 prior to biking, especially in open water. By using
this product you acknowledge and assume the inherent risks involved with any physical water sport.
