Paddleboard Basics
Part 1: Paddle Adjustment
Before you begin, make sure your paddle is 8-10 inches taller than you. By pushing the pins and sliding the paddle shaft, you can adjust your paddle to the desired height.
Part 2: Mounting the Paddleboard
To mount your paddleboard, start in at least knee-deep water. Stand alongside the board and place your paddle across the deck of the paddleboard.
Hold the board by the rails and push yourself up into a kneeling position.
SECTION 1PART 2: MOUNTING THE PADDLEBOARD (CONTINUED)Make sure you are kneeling just behind the center point of the board. The nose should not pop out of the water and the tail should not dig in.
Keep your hands on either side of the board until you feel stable enough to slowly stand up. Place your feet where your knees were and stand up one foot at a time.
Part 3: Proper Stance
Your feet should be parallel, centered between the rails, and about hip-width distance apart. Keep your toes pointed forward with your back straight and knees slightly bent. Your head and shoulders should be steady and upright. Try to keep your eye level with the horizon, and avoid staring at your feet. You should have one hand on the top grip and the other lower on the paddle shaft.
Keep in mind that while you paddle, the angle blade should point toward the front of the board
Part 4: Paddling Basics
Push down on the top paddle grip and twist from your torso as you paddle. Push the paddle blade completely under the surface, pull it back to your ankle, then lift it out of the water. If you are a beginner, keep your strokes fairly short and close to the side of the board.
To go in a straight line, paddle about 4 or 5 strokes on one side, then switch to the other. When you switch sides, you’ll need to reverse hand positions.
SEC 4: Paddling BasicsPART 4: PADDLING BASICS (CONTINUED)If you wish to turn your board, simply paddle on one side until the nose turns in the direction you want to go. Another fast way to turn or change direction is to simply drag the paddle on one side or paddle backward.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCECongratulations on your Lifetime® product purchase. By following the instructions below, your new Lifetime product should provide you with years of service and enjoyment.
Cleaning and CareLifetime® Paddleboards are stain- and solvent-resistant. Most stains can be removed, using a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Abrasive cleaning materials may scratch the plastic and are not recommended. Avoid placing a direct heat source on or near surfaces unless using a heat barrier.
Helpful Tips For Your Paddleboard
- Always store your paddleboard out of direct sunlight when not in use. Your paddleboard is manufactured with UV-resistant color, but a paddleboard stored in direct sunlight will begin to color fade over long periods of time.
- Your new paddleboard is molded of high-density polyethylene resin. Clean up with mild soap and water is recommended periodically to keep your paddleboard looking new.
- Never drag any portion of the paddleboard over asphalt or any rocky, sandy, or abrasive surfaces.
- Do not stand or sit on your paddleboard when out of the water. This can cause damage to the board or fins.
- If your paddleboard has been exposed to hot sunlight, it is recommended to splash water on the board to cool the hot surface before it comes in direct contact with your skin.
- During regular use, it is normal to find small amounts of water inside the paddleboard. After each use, locate the drain plug on the paddleboard and carefully pull it out. Tilt the board to let the water drain out and secure the Drain Plug when finished. Do not remove any other parts or plugs from the paddleboard.
- If your paddleboard has been exposed to hot sunlight, it is recommended to splash water on the board to cool the hot surface before it comes in direct contact with your skin.
