User Manual for Retrospec Weekender Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard

Quick guide from the manual

To get started with your Retrospec iSUP, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for setup. The board requires inflation to 12-15 PSI. Always verify the red valve stem is in the up (locked) position before pumping. Install your specific fin configuration (Tri-fin, 5-fin, or single-fin) before heading to the water. Always wear a leash and a coast guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD).

Safety Warnings

• Always wear a leash: Prevents separation from the board if you fall.
• PFD: Wear a coast guard-approved personal flotation device at all times.
• Weather: Do not use in severe weather or strong winds.
• Visibility: Never use after sunset; carry a waterproof flashlight if caught after dark.
• Alcohol/Drugs: Do not consume as they affect your ability to operate the board safely.
• Shallow Water: Avoid riding in shallow water to prevent damage to fins and fin boxes.
• Hypothermia: Wear a wet or dry suit in cold water conditions.

Inflation Instructions

1. Prepare the board: Unroll on a flat surface free of sharp objects, with the deck and valve facing up.
2. Prepare the valve: Remove the cover. Ensure the red valve stem is in the up (locked) position. If it is down, turn it counter-clockwise to close.
3. Assemble the pump: Screw the pressure gauge onto the handle until it stops. Attach the yellow hose to the gauge outlet.
4. Connect: Push the hose into the air valve and twist clockwise to lock.
5. Inflate: Begin pumping. The gauge will not register pressure until the board reaches 10 PSI. Inflate to 12-15 PSI.
6. Finish: Remove the hose and replace the valve cap.

Fin Installation

Tri-Fin & 5-Fin Models

1. Slide the central fin into the slot and lock by screwing in the locking pins.
2. Slide smaller outer fins into the side slots and lock with pins.

Single-Fin Model

1. Place round pegs at the back of the fin into the fin box.
2. Locate the clip at the front of the fin box and place it at the C-notch at the front of the fin.
3. Press down at the front of the fin to lock it into place.

Deflation and Storage

1. Fin Removal: Press the tab on the lock clip and slide fins out.
2. Clean and Dry: Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.
3. Deflate: Push down on the red valve for 10 seconds to burp air, then turn the stem clockwise and push in to release air.
4. Roll: Start at the nose (opposite the valve) and roll tightly toward the valve.
