Before first use
We recommend that you attend a course or training at a certified water sports
school before using it for the first time. Alternatively, you can get instruction from a
competent SUP athlete.
Before going out on the water, all parts of the product should be checked for
damage such as holes, cracks or other damage.
Do not use the product under any circumstances if it is damaged.
Check the air pressure using the pump. Check that the valves are tightly closed and
that the valve cap is fitted so that no foreign bodies can enter. Always keep an eye
on whether the board is losing pressure.
The SUP should never be left unattended near or on the water.
Current or wind can suddenly wash the product away so that a swimmer can no
longer reach it.
1. roll out the board
Use a clean level with enough space to unpack the product.
Remove the packaging material and check that all parts are present and
undamaged.
Before rolling out, check that there are no glowing coals, cigarette butts or sharp
objects such as gravel, broken glass, splinters or flotsam on the floor.
There are two side fins on the board which are protected with plastic foam covers
(so-called fin protection rings). Remove these covers.
Store these fin protection rings. These are needed to protect the
side fins when rolling up the board after use.
2. inflate the board
The air pump supplied should be used for inflation. Otherwise, you can also
purchase foot pumps or piston pumps with pressure gauges from a specialist dealer.
Make sure you use the correct attachment.
The valves should only be used for filling or releasing air. There is a
risk of external material entering.
Always keep the valve itself and the area around it dry and clean. If the board is
used in salt water, clean the valve thoroughly with fresh water afterwards and
remove any dirt, sand or other contamination.
The valves should only be used when inflating or deflating the board. When
storing the board, the valves should be closed.
