REMOVABLE SKEG
DRAIN VALVE
Your kayak has been designed with a drain system located on the
underside of the kayak in the rear. It consists of a valve base and
valve insert, for those of you who would like to use the kayak in calm
waters to maximize comfort and dryness, screw the valve insert onto
its base. Unscrew the valve insert from the valve base so that your
kayak is self-bailing, which is optimal for whitewater conditions.
Please keep the valve insert in other place like the small bag of the
seat separately to well drain.
ADJUSTABLE SEAT(S)
Your kayak is supplied with a (or several) adjustable seat(s), featuring
a comfortable high backrest. The seat is held in place by the velcro
strips on the underside and by webbing straps on the sides of the
backrest. Place the seat(s) into the kayak, matching the position of
the Velcro strips on the floor. Attach the webbing straps from the sides
of the backrest to the D-rings located inside the kayak, on the side
walls/chambers. Tighten the straps as needed for proper back
support. You can choose the seat position for one or two persons:
please see the drawing.
It is recommended to use the removable skeg in deep water (lake,
sea, ) where it will allow you to move forward in a straight line. Do not
use it in shallow water or white water: the skeg would deteriorate the
bottom of the kayak in shallow water and reduce the maneuverability
in white water. First partially deflate the kayak. The skeg cannot be
installed when the kayak is fully inflated. The curvature of the skeg
must be pointed towards the back end of the kayak.
