Construction
Expanded polystyrene core with 3 wood stringers. New Hot-laminated polyethylene coating on the core to limit water entry and improve the rigidity. High-density polyethylene bottom. Wax before use to avoid slipping.
Easy to assemble
A kit with 3 identical fins and single size screws so you can't go wrong. Comes with a plastic Allen key for tightening and a 2.5 m urethane leash with double swivel.
Regularly check the fastening of the screws to ensure good water resistance.
Using the leash
WARNING: never hold your board with your hands or fingers wrapped in the cord. This can lead to serious finger injury.
Properly install the leash by checking the attachment to the board.
Practice removing the leash from your ankle in the event of a problem.
Safety precautions
Warning: prolonged exposure to the sun or extreme heat can cause the coating to become detached. We recommend that you store your board in the shade and not inside a vehicle.
Regularly tighten the fin with the key provided to keep water out.
If you need to fasten the board to a roof rack, we recommend putting the board in a bag. The strap may damage the rail.
