Locate a relatively clean area
that is free of sharp objects. Un-
pack the board from its bag and
lay it out flat.
A large removable skeg is in-
cluded with your NeedleNose
for improved tracking. Make
sure that the key lock is in the
out position of the skeg (as pic-
tured) before sliding the skeg
into the base.
Slide the skeg into the skeg base
underneath the stern.Then slide
the key lock into the small gap
in the base to lock it into place.
Insert the pump hose with the
recessed valve adapter into the
valve and turn clockwise to lock
in place. Begin pumping in air.
The pressure gauge will not
begin to register until the board
begins to get pressurized. Pump
until the working pressure of be-
tween 12 and 15 psi is reached.
Do not exceed 15 PSI.
Deluxe Inflatable Seat
(OPTIONAL)
The Deluxe Kayak Seat (DKS)
has two internal bladders, two
white valves and two blue straps
with clips for securing to the
D-rings. A seat strap is included
in the box with the board.
One-Way Air Valve
(Found only on DKS)
Tether the white valve to the
valve base. Stretch the ring to fit
over the groove in the base.
TIP:
Soak the retainer ring on the valve caps in warm water to
make installing the ring over the base easier.
The SUP pump comes with a
second hose that has a smooth
valve adapter attached at one
end. Use this hose to inflate your
deluxe kayak seat.
