Consult your physician before using a paddle board.

Use this product only if you know you are in good physical health.

Users of this product are responsible for their own safety.

Do not over inflate. Only inflate within recommended PSI range.

Inspect the Speer for any worn or defective parts prior to use and replace as necessary.

Do not use if product is defective.

Do not use near motorized boats.

While in use, ensure the Speer is in deep enough water, free from hazardous materials.

Always carry the Speer to the water, do not haul it across the ground.

If under 18, always use the Speer under adult supervision.

Users of this prone paddle board assume all risk and liability.

1. Take the black valve wrench from the repair kit and ensure the air fill valve (x1) and the pressure relief valve (x1) are tight. Typically, once a year you may need to retighten these valves with the wrench. Warning: Do not ever completely unscrew the valve.

2. Inflating the Speer: Inflating the Speer takes 4-7 minutes, although this does depend on the target psi.

3.1 Ensure the valve pin is in the up position. When the valve pin is up, you can still pump air into the Speer, but it won’t lose any pressure when the pump hose is disconnected.

3.2 Connect the pump hose and inflate the Speer to 5-18 psi. The pump has a PSI gauge, it won’t start reading a pressure until the dock reaches at least ~3-5 PSI. The Speer has a max air capacity of 18 PSI, although 10-14 psi is a good target range. The pressure regulator will activate and slowly let air out if max capacity is ever reached.

3.3. Electric pumps and air compressors can be used. We have adapters and e-pumps if inflating manually is an obstacle. If you have an existing e-pump, feel free to use it. You won’t void any warranty or do any damage to the Speer by using an off-brand pump.

There are no tools required, although a phillips screwdriver can be useful . Unscrew the square nut from the fin and insert into the wide opening of the fin box and push forward.

At the front of the fin, align the small plastic tabs with the wide opening of the fin box. Insert, slide the entire fin towards the back of the boar until the screw hole lines up with the square nut plate that was placed on the track.

Tighten the thumb screw clockwise until snug. Learn more about fin installation here.

1. Deflating the Speer takes just a few minutes. Dry off the paddle board before deflating.

2. Open the valve cap and press down on the center pin for the air valve. The pin will lock in the down position and let all of the air out. Let it sit for a few minutes while air flows out of the Portager.

Optional: The included pump does vacuum the air out by switching the hose connector to deflate on pump.

Storing the Speer inflated or deflated is acceptable. If storing deflated, ensure that the Speer is completely dry. If storing in a below freezing temperature, it is better to have the Speer unrolled, or partially inflated, where the seams won’t be stressed.

Please check local laws and regulations for licensing and registering your paddle craft.

In some states, you are required to register your paddle board.

Steps:

1. Go to your local DMV.

2. Show your sales receipt.

3. Present your paddle board's 12 character serial number beginning with PDN (example: PDN 12345 A1 20).

4. Pay the fee and get a sticker that is good for (typically) a few years.

The Speer can support up to 300 lbs.
