2. Secure the fin by pushing down the locking clip until it clicks into place. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent wobbling during use.

4. L-Immuntar tal-Paletta

The paddle can be assembled in two configurations: a single-blade SUP paddle or a double-blade kayak paddle.

SUP Paddle Configuration:

• Connect the three sections of the paddle, ensuring the blade is at one end and the handle at the other.
• Adjust the paddle length using the quick-release clamp. For optimal SUP paddling, the paddle handle should reach your wrist when your arm is extended overhead. The adjustable range is 165cm to 208cm (65" to 82").

Kayak Paddle Configuration:

• Remove the handle section from the SUP paddle.
• Attach the second paddle blade (included) to the open end of the paddle shaft. This creates a double-bladed kayak paddle.

2. Clip the straps of the kayak seat to the corresponding D-rings. Adjust the strap length for a comfortable seating position.
3. Attach the footrest to the D-rings in front of the seat, adjusting its position for optimal comfort and leverage.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

1. Attaching the Ankle Leash

Before entering the water, attach the coiled ankle leash to the D-ring at the tail of the board and secure the cuff around your ankle. This prevents the board from drifting away if you fall off.

2. Stand Up Paddling (SUP)

• Start by kneeling on the center of the board, just behind the carry handle.
• Once comfortable, place your paddle horizontally across the board and use your hands to push up into a standing position.
• Position your feet shoulder-width apart, parallel to each other, and centered over the board's stringer (the imaginary line running down the middle).
• Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged for stability.
• Use the paddle to propel yourself forward, keeping the blade submerged and pulling it alongside the board.

With the kayak seat and double-bladed paddle, you can easily convert your SUP into a comfortable kayak.

• Ensure the kayak seat and footrest are securely attached as per the setup instructions.
• Sit comfortably in the seat, placing your feet on the footrest for support.
• Use the double-bladed paddle to propel yourself, alternating strokes on either side of the board, similar to a traditional kayak.
