Put the shaft together
first. Insert the shaft
piece with the button
into the piece with three
holes. Lock the button
in the middle hole.
Next, slide the drip
guards up the shaft to
about an inch above the
button hole. Insert the
blades into the shaft
and adjust until the but-
ton locks the blade in
place.
The additional holes in
the shaft are for “feath-
ering” the blades.
Blades can be offset
45° from each other.
This makes paddling
into a stiff breeze easier
as the blade that is not
in the water will be able
to slice through the wind
with little resistance.
To deflate, press down on the valve stem and turn clock-
wise to lock in open position. Most of the air is immediately
released. Excess air can be pushed out as you fold up the
board.
Remove the large skeg
and begin folding by
laying the nose over the
board and off to one
side.
Make the second fold
so you have a triangle
shape (like folding a
flag).
Then fold straight back
until you reach the large
skeg. Keep this skeg
flat and fold forward to
reveal the small skegs.
How many folds will
vary with the length of
your board.
Place the skeg protec-
tors on the the small
skegs and fold over.
Keep the slide in skeg
base flat so it is not
bent. A warped base will
not allow the skeg to
slide in smoothly.
Place the board and ac-
cessories in the carry
bag.
