2. Push down on the valve head. This will lock the valve open and allow air to escape rapidly from the board. Fig 6

3. Roll up the board starting from the nose so the fins are on the outside of the fully rolled board. (see below)

1. First you need to inflate the board until it has its shape but is still relatively flat as this will make inserting the battens easier.

Fig 13

Fig 14

3. Push the initial part of the batten in remembering to keep the batten straight as you push it into the pocket.

Fig 15

5. Now stand towards the front of the board and pull the batten towards you using the rope attached to the batten.

Fig 17

6. Once fully inserted tuck the rope behind the batten to avoid any unnecessary drag in the water.

1. To remove the battens first deflate the board so most of the pressure has been released.

2. Then grab the board and the rope attached to the end of the batten and standing near the back of the board pull the batten towards you whilst pushing down on the pocket to keep the batten flat.

Storing the board

1. It is fine to store the board inflated however try not to leave the board in direct sunlight as this may cause fading over a prolonged period.

2. You will find that your board will be harder on hot days as the air inside expands, this is normal and a great feature of inflatable boards.

3. When storing the board for prolonged periods in a deflated state it will be best to keep it loosely rolled, or if possible unrolled completely

(Small bag shown is an optional extra).

Warning!

1. This board is not a life saving device, do not use this board without wearing a life vest.

2. Do not leave the board in direct sunlight for prolonged periods when not in use.

3. When not using the board, please reduce pressure to below 15 psi.
