ALWAYS practice safety and take the time to learn about the area where you are paddling. Get
official information about the local tides and currents before paddling there. Be careful that
you do not over estimate your strength, your endurance or your skill. Be careful never to under
estimate weather conditions. Be aware of the dangers before you begin. Be aware of your skill
level. Be sure you understand and accept the risk of these dangers. There are many paddling
clubs all over the world. These can be a great source of information on places to paddle, people
to paddle with and most importantly, continued safety practices.

5. PROPER CARE AND STORAGE

Your inflatable kayak is made of very durable materials. However, like anything else, proper
use and care will increase the life of your kayak. Before storing your kayak, make sure it is both
CLEAN and DRY. You may clean your kayak with a mild soap and water. NEVER use strong
solvents to clean your kayak as they will destroy the material.
NEVER unzip the chamber cover when the kayak is inflated.
Be sure to rinse your kayak with fresh water after every use in salt water and allow it to dry
thoroughly before storing. Use a dry towel to wipe up all moisture. It should be deflated and
kept out of direct sunlight when stored. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
If your boat is exposed to freezing temperatures while storing, allow it to warm up before
unfolding.
Do not store your kayak for an extended period of time while wet.
Follow these steps for removing excess water.
1. Unzip the 2 zippers that run down the center of the kayak.
2. Remove the gray fabric tube and cover, along with the inflatable floor, separating it
from the outer cover. In order to completely separate these parts, it is necessary to
unscrew the locking nut on the spring valve.
3. Use a sponge or towel and wipe up any excess water in the outer cover.
4. Wipe off the floor (top and bottom)
5. If there is sand or gravel in the kayak, you can hose out the cover, and then wipe it
down with a towel.
6. Most of the time you can just pull out the inflatable floor and wipe out the inside of the
kayak absorbing most of the water, then pack it up.

6. REPAIRS

All kayaks come with a repair kit that includes glue and several patches. This should remain
with the kayak in the event that you may need it. If service is required for your kayak, please call
866-262-9076 for assistance.

6.1 Repairing Small Punctures and Cuts

1. Cut a rounded patch at least ¼" or ½" larger than the hole or cut.
2. Clean the area where the patch will be placed with water and/or mild soap.
3. Make sure all surfaces are dry.
4. In a well ventilated area, spread a thin layer of glue on both the patch and on the
damaged area. Let it sit for three to five minutes or until tacky.
