Congratulations on your purchase of the Advanced Elements Stiffy™ SUP. It is our goal at Advanced Elements to develop new and unique paddle sports products that enhance our customer’s outdoor experience. This versatile paddleboard has been designed with our revolutionary integrated aluminum support shaft system to provide ultimate rigidity and performance. Made of quality materials, this compact and highly durable SUP is easy to set up and will have you out on the water in no time.
2 Set Up and Inflation 2.1 Set Up 1. Pull the Stiffy™ SUP out of its bag and un-fold it. 2. Locate the Fin holders on the bottom side of the board at the tail end. You will notice that the center Fin holder is different from the two side fin holders. The center Fin holder is for the larger Deep Fin. 3. For the side Fins, take each Fin and hook them into place making sure that the longer portion is going towards the end of the board.
2.3 Support Shaft Installation 1. You should have 4 aluminum shaft sections that will socket together to make two complete Support Shafts for installation into each side of the board. Once socketed together, there should be a black end cap on each end of both complete Aluminum Support Shaft assemblies. 2. Take one complete Support Shaft assembly and proceed to install it into one of the sleeves located on the side of the board by sliding it into place.
Image 5 (Deflate Position) Image 6 (Inflate Position) Inflation/Pump Use Tips: Because you will be inflating your SUP to such a high pressure, please follow these suggestions to help you with inflation. 1. Stand the pump on hard level ground when inflating the SUP. 2. Make sure to keep your hands towards the center of the pump handles when inflating and keep your feet firmly on the foot rests.
2. To ensure that your SUP lasts for years to come, do not store it in direct sunlight uncovered or in extremely hot or cold temperatures for long periods of time, i.e. months. Exposing your SUP to these kinds of elements, such as a freezing winter in an unheated shed, over such an extended amount of time can prematurely wear out the materials that the SUP are made of. 3. Do not leave your SUP inflated in direct sunlight for long periods of time, unless it is in the water.

Your feet are not glued to the board, make sure to get used to moving your feet around on the board because the sooner that you do this the more comfortable you will feel about doing turns and riding waves. 7. The Best way to turn your board is to stand with your foot at the tail of the board with your weight over the fins. This is where foot movement will come in handy. 8.
