Maintenance
Removable Center Fin
1. To deflate the board, remove the valve cap from the valves in the board.
2. Clean and check the board as well as all the accessories.
3. Make sure the board is completely dry before putting it away.
4. Make sure that no sand or gravel remains inside the board or between the hull and the inner chambers. This could result in abrasion or even punctures while storing the board.
5. Roll it up from the opposite end of the valves (so remaining air can escape from the valves).
6. When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place.
Whenever you take your board out of the water and deflate it, allow time for it to air out and dry. Neither the skin/hull or the inside chambers will suffer from water damage, but stagnant water could cause mildew and foul odor.
How to repair small punctures
Check that the board is fully deflated and lies flat.
1. Prepare a round patch no less than 3 inches or 7 centimeters in diameter.
2. Clean the patch and the area surrounding the leak with alcohol.
3. To contain excess glue, use masking tape to tape off the area around the patch.
4. Apply 3 thin, even coats of repair kit adhesive to both the surface of the board and the patch. Wait 5 minutes between each coat.
5. After the 3rd coat, wait 10-15 minutes before applying the patch. Use a hand roller to apply the patch evenly. Pay special attention to the edges to ensure a quality seal.
6. Wait 24 hours before re-inflating.
• Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid inhaling toxic vapors.
• Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes.
• Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc) away from the reach of children.
• The repairs on the welds must not be glued. Only the manufacturer of the board can perform repairs on the glued seams themselves.
