Inflating the board
WARNING!
• Avoid over-inflating the air chamber, other-
wise you risk over-stretching or even splitting
the seams.
• Operating pressure can increase when ex-
posed to the sun. Compensate the air pressure
by releasing air from the board.
• Use commercially available foot pumps or
double-action hand pumps with the appropri-
ate attachments and pressure gauge to inflate
the product.
• Do not use a compressor or compressed air
canister to inflate the product. This can lead to
damage.
• Always fully inflate the board.
• Do not inflate the board near sharp or pointed
objects, or on rough or stony ground.
• Always inflate the air chamber completely.
IMPORTANT!
• Only open the valve to inflate and deflate.
Otherwise it can become contaminated.
• The area around the valve must always be
clean and dry.
• Ensure that sand or other contaminants do not
get into the valve.
• To achieve maximum pressure, switch from
double to single action.
• Flip the lever on the air pump (14) to alternate
between double action and single action.
Inflating the air chamber
Important!
• The optimal operating pressure for the
air chamber is 1bar.
1. Screw the female thread (15a) of the hose
(15) onto the thread (14a) of the air pump
(14) (Fig. B).
Note:
ensure that you screw the hose onto the
thread marked ‘INF’.
2. Twist the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise to
remove it from the valve (1b) (Fig. C).
3. Place the end of the hose (15b) onto the
valve and screw it on tightly clockwise
(Fig. C).
Note: the valve pin (1c) must be in the closed
position when doing so (Fig. D).
4. Inflate the air chamber to a maximum of
1bar (15psi) with the air pump.
5. Stop inflating once the pressure gauge
indicates 1bar, i.e. 15psi.
6. Turn the end of the hose anticlockwise to
remove it from the valve, and place the valve
cap onto the valve.
7. Turn the valve cap clockwise to tighten it.
Deflating (Fig. D)
1. Turn the valve cap (1a) anticlockwise.
2. Remove the valve cap and press the valve pin
(1c) down.
Note: if you release the valve pin, it returns
to its original position and the air no longer
escapes.
3. Press the valve pin down and turn it clockwise
until it remains in its position. The air will now
empty completely.
4. After deflation is complete, turn the valve
pin anticlockwise. The valve pin returns to its
original position.
Assembling the foil (Fig. F)
1. Place the front wing (2) on the ground with
the wing tips pointing upwards.
2. Insert the wide end of the fuselage (4) into
the front wing so that the opening for the
mast (3) points downwards.
3. Secure the front wing with the two
M8 x 25mm screws (8) using the tool (12).
4. Turn over the front wing with the fuselage.
5. Secure the rear wing (6) to the fuselage with
the two M6 x 18mm screws (9) using the
tool (11).
6. Insert the mast (3) into the mast opening on
the fuselage.
7. Secure the mast to the fuselage with the two
M8 x 30mm screws (7) using the tool (12).
8. Place the plate (5) on the end of the mast.
9. Secure the plate to the mast with two
M8 x 30mm screws using the tool (12).
10. Check that all screws are tight.
Disassembling the foil
Disassemble the product in the reverse order to
that shown in the ‘Assembly’ section.
Mounting the foil on the board
(Fig. G)
On the underside of the board (1) there are two
rails (1a) to which the foil is attached using slid-
ing blocks (10) and four M8 x 30mm screws (7).
1. Place the board upside down on the ground.
2. Screw one M8 x 30mm screw into each
sliding block.
3. Insert the sliding block with the screw into the
rail, at the wide point of the rail.
4. Place two sliding blocks with screws in each
rail in this way.
5. Place the foil with the plate (5) on the rails.
6. Hook the screws into the openings on the
plate and slide the plate with the screws into
the centre.
7. Screw all four M8 x 30mm screws to the
board using the tool (12).
8. Make sure the screws are tight.
The position of the foil on the board
The position of the foil impacts the handling of
the board:
• centrally mounted: standard position.
• forward position: easier gliding; pumping ac-
tion with the board will result in faster gliding;
board is less manoeuvrable (recommended in
light winds).
• rear position: gliding more difficult; intensive
pumping necessary to achieve gliding; board
is more manoeuvrable (recommended in
strong winds).
Removing the foil from the board
Remove the foil from the board (1) in the reverse
order to that shown in ‘Mounting the foil on the
board’ section.
Attaching the leash to the board
(Fig. H)
Attach the leash (13) to the back D-ring (1f), as
shown in Figure H.
1. Pull the loop (13b) of the leash through the
D-ring.
2. Pull the ankle attachment (13a) through the
loop of the leash until there is a knot in the
D-ring.
Using the leash (Fig. I)
WARNING!
• Never attach the leash (13) to your ankle
when using the product on flowing water (e.g.
waters with rapids and rivers).
• Never attach the leash to your ankle in off-
shore winds.
• When using the product in deep water, attach
the leash (13) to your ankle, as shown in
Figure E.
Transporting the foil
Important: always place the board (1) with
the foil on its side.
We recommend that you use the carry bag (16)
to transport the foil. Ensure that the product is
completely clean and dry. Dismantle the foil and
place the individual parts in the corresponding
areas in the carrier bag.
Transporting the board
Stow the board in the bag (17) for extended
periods of transportation or storage.
Disassem-
ble the board in the reverse order to that shown
in the section ‘Assembly’. Ensure that the product
is completely clean and dry.
1. Lay the board (1) on a clean, even, dry
surface.
2. Roll up the deflated board and fasten it with
the belts (9).
3. Place the board, together with all other prod-
uct accessories, into the carry bag.
Note: there is a carry strap on the middle of the
board that you can use to easily carry the board
when it is inflated.
Care, storage, repairs and
maintenance
Care
WARNING!
Do not use harsh cleaning agents, brushes with
metal or nylon bristles, nor any sharp or metallic
objects such as knives, or similar. Only use mild
cleaning agents.
Clean the board (only when the valve is closed)
and the foil after each use.
1. Remove the foil from the board (1).
2. Dismantle the foil as described in section
‘Removing the foil from the board’.
3. Place all the individual parts on a clean, even
and dry surface.
4. Clean the board and the individual parts of
the foil with fresh water and mild soap in or-
der to remove any salt crystals, grains of sand
and any other minor contamination.
5. Wipe everything dry with a dry, soft cloth.
6. Place the completely dry individual parts of
the foil and the board in the corresponding
transport bags (16/17).
