5. Inflation tips and precautions
DO NOT use an air compressor – if your board gets damaged from
over inflation, it will void your warranty.
After a few days, the pressure could decrease due to temperature
change – add a few more pumps of air.
Before using, inflate the board for a full 24 hours to ensure the board
is secure. If you see a consistent decrease in air pressure, follow the
instructions for leak detection in the repair section of this manual.
DO NOT over inflate this board – the maximum pressure should be
15 psi. To ensure the pressure is good, check the chambers are firm
by pressing on them.
DO NOT pump to a high pressure and expose the board to direct sun-
light. If the board is in a warm environment, slightly deflate the board
– the heat from the sun will increase the internal pressure. When pad-
dling, the cold water could cause a slight loss in chamber pressure. It
is recommended to carry a pump to use when necessary.
Put the four buckles on the seat into the D-ring of the paddle.
