4. Konfigurazioa

4.1 Taularen inflazioa

1. Unroll the paddle board on a clean, flat surface, free of sharp objects.
2. Locate the two inflation valves. This board features a dual-chamber design for enhanced stability.
3. Ensure the valve pins are in the 'up' position (closed for inflation). If the pin is down, press it to pop it up.
4. Connect the hand pump hose to the valve of the inner chamber first.
5. Begin pumping. Inflate the inner chamber to 15 PSI (1.03 bar). The pump gauge will show pressure once it reaches a certain level.
6. Once the inner chamber is inflated, connect the hand pump hose to the valve of the outer chamber.
7. Inflate the outer chamber to 15 PSI (1.03 bar). The board should feel very rigid when fully inflated.
8. Replace the valve caps securely after inflation to prevent air leakage.

Slide the center fin into the fin box located at the rear underside of the board. Secure it with the attached clip or pin, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.

4.3 Arraunaren muntaketa

Assemble the three-piece paddle by connecting the sections. Adjust the paddle length to your height; a good starting point is to have the handle reach your wrist when your arm is extended overhead.

4.4 Uhalaren lotura

Attach one end of the coiled leash to the D-ring at the tail of the board and the other end to your ankle. This is a critical safety measure.

Carry the inflated board to the water using the convenient deck handle. Enter the water in an area free of obstacles. You can start by kneeling on the board.

5.2 Arraun egiteko teknikak

• Kneeling: Start by kneeling on the center of the board, with your knees about shoulder-width apart. Use the paddle to propel yourself forward.
• Zutik jartzea: From a kneeling position, place your paddle across the board in front of you. Place your hands on the board, one on each side. Bring one foot up to where your knee was, then the other. Slowly stand up, keeping your knees slightly bent and your core engaged. Look towards the horizon, not at your feet.
• Forward Stroke: Reach forward with the paddle, insert the blade fully into the water, and pull it back towards your feet. Keep your arms relatively straight and use your core muscles for power.
• Biraketa: To turn, paddle on one side only, or use a sweep stroke (a wide arc) on the opposite side of the desired turn.

6. Mantentzea

6.1 Garbiketa

After each use, rinse the paddle board thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Use mild soap and water for stubborn stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

6.2 Lehortzea

Ensure the board is completely dry before deflating and storing it. Drying prevents mold and mildew growth.

6.3 Biltegiratzea

To deflate, press the valve pin down to release the air. Roll the board tightly from the nose to the tail to expel all remaining air. Store the board in its travel bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid folding the board sharply or placing heavy objects on it.

6.4 Konponketa Kit

The included repair kit can be used for minor punctures. Clean and dry the damaged area, apply adhesive (not included) to the patch, and firmly press it onto the puncture. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure before re-inflating.

7. Arazoak

• Board not inflating: Check that the valve pin is in the 'up' position. Ensure the pump hose is securely attached to the valve.
• Board losing air: Check valve caps for tightness. Inspect the board for visible punctures. Use soapy water to locate small leaks (bubbles will appear).
• Board feels unstable: Ensure both inner and outer chambers are inflated to the recommended 15 PSI. Proper inflation is crucial for rigidity and stability.
• Paddle is too long/short: Adjust the paddle length using the locking mechanism on the shaft.
