You've finally found the right board for you and you're excited to get out on the water. But how exactly does this thing work?
We thought we'd break it down for you so you can get yourself out on your board as soon as possible.
5 steps to inflating your new inflatable SUP
1. Roll out your board on a flat surface
2. Set the valve up for inflation - press down on the stem and turn to open the valve
3. Thread the hose from the pump in to the valve and start inflating before replacing the cap on the valve when you are fully inflated - remember to check your board's details for how much pressure is needed.
TOP TIP - Be sure to use your body weight when pumping to inflate your board so that your arms don't get too exausted before you even start paddling.
4. Turn your board on it's side and add your fins to the bottom
5. It's now time to put your life jacket on
You're ready to get your board out on the water! Enjoy and stay safe!
