Kayak Usage Guide
-
Inflation and Setup
Before you can start, it’s essential to set up your canoe correctly. Use the included pump to inflate the folding kayak, ensuring it reaches the recommended PSI. Make sure all the valves are properly sealed before launching. The recreational kayak inflates quickly, and once inflated, it provides a solid, rigid surface. -
Launching the Kayak
Once inflated, you’re ready to go! The foldable kayak with drop stitch floor is designed for easy launch from the shore. Place the kayak gently in the water and start paddling. Its lightweight build allows you to quickly carry it to the water, even if you're on a beach or rocky shore. -
Kayaking Technique
Whether you’re kayaking on a calm lake or navigating gentle coastal waves, use a relaxed and steady technique. If you’re kayaking with a partner, you can take turns paddling on opposite sides to maintain balance. -
Storage After Use
After enjoying your kayaking experience, deflate the inflatable kayak and dry it thoroughly before rolling it up and packing it into the storage bag. This keeps the kayak in optimal condition for its next use and prevents mold growth or damage from prolonged moisture exposure.
Precautions and Care Tips for Kayak
-
Avoid Over-Inflation
While the outdoor canoe is built for durability, always adhere to the recommended PSI to avoid over-inflation. Over-inflating could damage the seams or cause unnecessary wear on the material. -
Check for Damage
After each use, inspect your kayak for any wear and tear. If there are any punctures or abrasions, use the included repair kit to patch up the affected areas. Regular maintenance ensures your kayak lasts for years to come. -
Store Properly
Store your kayak in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays can weaken the material over time. Avoid leaving the kayak inflated for extended periods in extreme weather conditions.
