Transporting
To avoid excessive wear and extend the life of this SUP we recommend transporLng it in a bag. Do not load other equipment,
parLcularly heavy or sharp objects on top of the SUP. If you transport your board in an open truck bed please make sure all sharp
objects are removed since more boards are damaged in transport than on the water.
**VALVE CAPS SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHENEVER TRANSPORTING YOUR BOARD.**
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your inflatable board is constructed with high quality materials and superior workmanship. However, as with all outdoor equipment,
proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the use of the product and allow it to perform be5er. Most damaging to your inflatable
board are extended UV exposure, insect repellents, plus mold and mildew. To keep your board performing its best, please following
these simple instrucLons:
• Do not set your board on sharp objects.
• Do not over inflate your board.
• Keep the zippers clean.
• Clean the board with soap and water only.
• Allow the board to drain properly so it can be stored dry.
Repair Tips
Prior to opening the board’s zippers, make sure they are clean and clear of any debris so that they will operate
freely, by cleaning the zippers with soapy water and an old toothbrush. ALWAYS secure the zipper cars with the split ring.
When patching the airecell, apply the patch to the outside of the airecell. When patching the PVC shell, apply the patch on the
inside of the PVC. The airecell patch is for air retenLon. The PVC shell patch protects the airecell patch as well as prevents the hole
from tearing further.
1. Valve does not retain air when pump is removed.
• Make sure that the valve stem is in the up and closed posiLon.
• Clear any debris that might be prevenLng the valve from sealing. This can be accomplished by either pumping quick bursts of
air into the valve or removing the core valve assembly and cleaning the edge of the rubber diaphragm with a co5on swab and
denatured alcohol.
• Make sure that the core valve assembly is Lght. Tighten valve if necessary.
2. Tube becomes soQ aQer inflaLon process.
• Determine which air chamber is soQ. Make sure the valve is funcLoning correctly, with no signs of leaking.
• Find the hole in the AIREcell and patch with the Tear Aid patch.
3. Tube is puckered or shows a void when inflated.
• The AIREcell might be misaligned. Deflate the tube(s) and as they are brought back up to pressure, manipulate the tube(s) to
free the AIREcell as it inflates. If this does not fix the problem, deflate the board, open the zipper and adjust the AIREcell.
4. Zipper is difficult to operate.
• Use a combinaLon of soap, water and an old toothbrush to clean and clear the zipper of debris.
5. Tear Aid patch does not sLck to AIREcell.
• Make sure the area to be patched is dry and clean. Use the alcohol pad to prep the area.
