INFLATING YOUR BOARD
Valve Operation: Inflation valve is located at the rear of the board. The valve must be in the closed position for
inflation to take place, make sure that the center valve pin is "up". If valve pin is "down", press down on the valve
pin and turn it counterclockwise until it pops up to the closed position.
Lock the valve cover over the valve stem once inflation is complete. This will prevent any accidental air from
releasing or the entrance of any particles into the valve and interior air chamber.
INFLATION SEQUENCE
1. Make sure that the valve pin is up and in the closed position
2. Make sure the pump hose is attached to the "inflate" port of the pump handle.
3. Connect the pump hose nozzle into the valve.
4. Pump air into the SUP by pulling the pump handle up and down.
DEFLATION SEQUENCE
1. Clear any water or fragments out from around the valve area before removing valve cover.
2. Press down on the valve pin to let air out of the SUP. Once air starts to release you can press the valve pin in
all the way and turn it clockwise to the open locked position.
INFLATION TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS
• The board can be inflated either with the included hand pump or an electric air pump. The electric air pump can
inflate the board to a moderate pressure but you will need to use your hand pump to inflate the air chamber to
the correct 13-15 PSI.
• Air compressors should NOT be used to inflate your SUP. Compressors generate to much pressure and will
damage your SUP. Damage caused by over inflation from an air compressor is not and will not be covered by
your warranty.
• Always check pressure before use. Over time the air chamber will lose air so it should always be checked.
• Inflate the board for a full 24 hours to be sure the board is airtight before use. If you are seeing a dramatic
decrease in air pressure, see the instructions for leak detection in the board repair section of this manual.
• Do not over-inflate. Max pressure of 13 - 15 PSI is adequate.
• Do not let the SUP sit in the sun for an extended time when under full pressure. If the SUP is going to be in a
warm/hot or sunny environment, release some air pressure in the board. Before use reinflate to the proper PSI.
Water temperature may also cause a slight loss in chamber pressure. It is good practice to place your SUP in the
water for several minutes to let it adjust to its new environment and then recheck chamber pressure. It is a good
idea to carry a pump and pressure gauge with you so that you can add some air to the chamber if necessary.
• Check air pressure often with provided gauge.
FIN INSTALLATION
1. Slide fin into base slot
2. Slide fin all the way to back
3. Insert fin pin through slot to hold fin in place
4. Largest fin in center.
BOARD CARE AND STORAGE
When storing Your AIRHEAD Stand Up Paddleboard, avoid storing in direct sunlight or in harsh weather conditions.
• Before storing, hose off the SUP and let it dry completely to prevent mildew buildup.
• Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning. Most dirt can be removed with a mild soap and fresh water.
• Storage of the SUP can be inflated or deflated. If you choose to deflate the board, it is recommend that you
store it in the storage bag that came with the SUP.
• If storing the SUP outdoors, Keep it off the ground and covered with a tarp to prevent exposure to the elements
• Hanging the SUP is not recommend.
• Do not store in extreme hot or cold conditions.
• Be sure to store your SUP in a clean, dry area.
