SPUD OWNER’S MANUAL

ALWAYS WEAR A COAST GUARD APPROVED FLOTATION DEVICE

WHEN OPERATING THE SPUD KAYAK.

Know the limits of your abilities and the limits of your equipment.

Changes in air temperature and elevation may cause the air inside the Spud to

expand which could cause a tube to burst. Always release some air when these

conditions occur.

Never leave your boat sitting in direct sunlight when it is out of the water.

This owner’s manual will help you with initial set-up of your new kayak, provide basic safety information and

maintenance tips, and cover simple field repair.
