How to use

Inflate the SUP to the manufacturer-recommended pressure using a compatible pump, then attach the fin and leash before entering the water. Begin on calm water to practice mounting and standing techniques: kneel first, paddle while kneeling to find balance, then slowly stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Use short, controlled paddle strokes to maintain direction, and lean slightly forward when accelerating. After use, rinse the board with fresh water, allow it to dry, deflate, roll or fold according to the manufacturer guidance, and store in a dry, cool place.

Usage recommendations

Choose a suitable inflation pressure for the intended load and water conditions; higher pressure improves stiffness and tracking. Wear an appropriate personal flotation device and attach the leash when paddling in open water or where currents are present. For touring or longer trips, plan routes within your skill level and monitor weather and water conditions.
