Drinking Water & Snacks: Boating is a physical activity that can
work up both a thirst and a sweat and especially on a hot or warm
day it is a good idea to have drinking water readily available to
you to prevent dehydration. Bring a good amount of water for all
passengers.
Extra Clothes/Layers: You never know when the weather can
change and it’s a good idea to come prepared with extra clothing.
If you have a dry (waterproof) bag than we recommend storing
them inside so they’re not damp in case of emergency.
First Aid-Kit: The contents of the kit may vary depending upon
your preferences, but make sure to carry a kit that reflects the pos-
sible dangers for the conditions you are in.
Foot Pump/Repair Kit: Although our boats are both durable and
rugged, it may be possible that you need to make a repair while
on the water in which case you’ll need the repair kit and the foot
pump to re-inflate the boat. If this is your first repair, you may also
want to bring this instruction manual with you.
Sun/Rain Protection: A hat can protect both your face and head
from the rain or sun. You may also want to carry sunscreen with
you as both the sun and the sun’s reflection from the water can do
serious damage to your skin. If you are out for prolonged periods
of time you may need to reapply sunscreen as needed.
Whistle: Having a whistle readily available to you in case of emer-
gency is a great way to attract the attention of others if assistance
is needed.
In addition to the equipment listed in this section, we strongly rec-
ommend the use of a helmet, gloves and rescue throw lines/ropes
when partaking in whitewater activities.
Always tell someone where you are going to be boating and what
time you plan to return. Keep a cell phone in a waterproof con-
tainer that will float if it falls in the water.
INFLATION: VALVES & PUMPS
Recessed Air Valves
Remove the cap and press and turn
the valve stem counterclockwise so
that the stem is in the UP position.
When the stem is in the up position
the valve will retain air. Turning the
stem clockwise will put the valve in
the down position for deflation.
The working pressure for your Sea
Eagle NeedleNose is between 12-15
PSI. NOTE: Do not exceed 15
PSI when inflating.
SUP Pump
This T-handle pump has been
matched to the board to provide
rapid inflation and ease of at-
taining the working pressure.
The pump comes with mesh
bag, manometer (pressure
gauge) and a hose.
Carefully insert manometer
(pressure gauge) into handle and
twist until upright.
Insert the hose with the recessed
valve adapter into the manome-
ter and twist to lock it into place.
