iSUP Inflation

STEP 1

Attach the pump hose to the pump. Make sure it is not cross-thread. 

STEP 2

Remove the outer cap on the board.

STEP 3

Ensure the valve is in the up position. 

(The valve has 2 positions. Up position for inflation and storage, down position for deflation. Adjust by pushing it slightly and turning it)

STEP 4

Insert the hose into the valve port then push and turn clock-wise until snug. 

(Note: You may need to push hard before turning. Be careful to turn the mouth of the hose only. Do not twist the hose itself.)

STEP 5

Pump using an up and down motion until the needle reads 10-12 PSI. Do not exceed max pressure of 15 PSI.

IT IS NORMAL FOR THE PSI GAUGE TO READ ZERO UNTIL 50-70 PUMPS PAST THE POINT WHERE THE BOARD TAKES FULL SHAPE. 

(Note: If your pump has a little plug on a string near the top, you have a two-stage pump. Put the plug in the hole and tighten for two-stage inflation. Remove the plug when pulling up becomes awkward for one-stage inflation.)

STEP 6

Remove the pump and replace the outer cap. You're ready to go!
