DEFLATION
To deflate, push down on
the valve stem and
quarter turn it to the
right. The stem will stay
in the down position,
allowing the air to escape.
Warning: Air escapes
with force, do not place
face directly over valve.
Make the first fold over the motor mount. Tuck
the rear tips under and bring skeg base on top.
Continue folding all the
way to the bow, squeezing
air out as you go.
Place the folded board in
the backpack carry bag.
The FS126, pump, AB30
kayak paddle, skegs, two
rod holders and Fishing
Rig frame (minus seat) are
packed in this bag.

CLEANING & PROTECTING
Dry after each use to avoid mold. While washing or
rinsing: close the valve and twist the cap on so water
cannot not enter the chamber. Sea Eagles can be cleaned
very effectively with general purpose cleaning products and a
scrub brush. Towel dry.
Protection from the Sun and Heat
Avoid leaving the board in direct sunlight when ashore.
Temperatures on a beach, dock, davit, etc. can get very high,
which could affect the vinyl or glue. Excessive exposure to sun
and heat can cause your Sea Eagle to become sticky or cause
the glue to fail.
Treat the board with a UV protectant such as 303 Aerospace
Protectant. Generally, protectants are a thin film of oil, which
will help keep your Sea Eagle clean. Avoid applying protectant
on the EVA pad or places where foot traction is needed.
Treated board will repel sand, water scum and tar stains.

STORAGE
If you’re planning to leave your Sea Eagle outside, keep it raised
off the ground and covered so it is not exposed to sunlight,
rain, leaves, berries, bird droppings, etc.
Storage Tips: “
The best way to store a Sea Eagle is folded up in it’s
bag”.
- Cecil Hoge, Jr., Sea Eagle President
• Check for water in the chambers. Water will leak out of open
valves when it is rolled up.
• Water left inside can leak out and cause a lot of mold. Dry
thoroughly to prevent mold.
• Rodent-proof the storage area. Mice, squirrels and other small
rodents can do a lot of damage.
• Avoid excess heat. Do not store in direct sunlight, in an attic or
a metal shed.
• In temperatures below freezing, do not drop, strike or
