be a good way to adapt it at its new environment, then check the inner tube pressure again. It would be a good
idea to keep a pump and a pressure gauge with you so you can add some air in the inner tube if needed.
WARNING:
If you let your SCOOTER SURF exposed to the direct sunlight, deflate it to avoid an excessive stretch of the
material. The ambient temperature affects the pressure level in the inner tube: a 1°C/1,8°F variation leads to a pressure
variation in the inner tube ± 4mBar (0,06PSI)

FIN ASSEMBLY:
The fin can be put up after the board inflation. The fin is in a case, you can attach it thanks to a wedge:
1.
Put the
fin’s
back in the rail of the
board’s
case.
2.
Slide it backwards until you reach the
rail’s
bottom.
3.
Slide the wedge in the slot between the aileron and the case.
4.
The fin is installed.

BOARD DEFLATION AND STORAGE:
1.
Clean the valve area before to open it.
2.
Push the valve stem to release some air from the BOARD so you can release the higher pressure. Once the
pressure has decreased, you can turn the valve clockwise to lock it in the open position.
3.
Remove the fin. Let the valve open while you are rolling the product towards the valve.
4.
Close the valve to avoid any mildews or residues entering the inner tube.
5.
DO NOT keep a wet board in his storage bag more than 1 day. As soon as possible, unroll it and let it dry.
6.
Clean your board only with clear water. If some stains persist you can clean it with soapy water.

CARE AND STORAGE:
•
When you store your Scooter surf , do not expose it to direct sunlight or to bad weather conditions.
•
Before storing your SCOOTER SURF, rinse it and let it dry to avoid mildews accumulation.
•
Clean the Scooter surf with clean and fresh water and lightly lubricate all the metal elements with a good quality
Scooter surf lubricant. Wipe off excess lubricant with a lint-free cloth. Lubrication is a function of climate. Talk to
our Red Shark team about the best lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency.
•
DO NOT use harsh chemicals to clean your SCOOTER SURF. Most of stains can be removed with mild soap and
water. You can store your SCOOTER SURF either inflated or deflated.
•
If you store your SCOOTER SURF outside, do not let it in direct contact with the floor and cover it to avoid
natural elements exposure.
•
We DO NOT recommend you to hang your SCOOTER SURF.
•
Store your SCOOTER SURF in a clean and dry area.
•
SCOOTER SURF original box, carrying
bags…
can protect your product during storage.

LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR:
A leaking valve is rare, but if you do find a leak, we can send you a replacement valve. To locate a leak, we recommend
mixing soap and water in a spray bottle, spray around the valve. If you see bubbles forming, check your valve seating
and base and be sure the valve insert is screwed tight. If the board is losing air and all the valves are good, it probably
has a small puncture. Small punctures can be repaired easily and permanently. Spray around the board until air bubbles
become visible and mark the position of the leak.
•
Punctures less than
1/8”in
size can be repaired simply without a patch. Deflate your board, then clean and dry
the area to be repaired. Apply a small drop of glue to cover the puncture and let it dry 12 hours.
•
Cut a piece of repair material large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately 1.5cm
(1/2”),
and
round off the edges.
