HOW TO DEFLATE A SUP BOARD?
Follow these six steps to make sure deflating and repacking your SUP is a synch after a big day out on the water.

1. Remove the fin, then unscrew the valve cover on the board.
2. Protecting your fingers with a soft cloth (t-shirt or towel), simply push the valve down and turn 90 degrees clockwise to lock the valve in the open/deflate position.
3. The air contained within the board will immediately begin to exit. Lay down flat on the board using your body weight to assist deflation.
4. After approximately 20 seconds, once most of the air has exited the board, start rolling the board from the front to the back, each fold being approximately 30cm apart.
5. Once folded up, remember to close off the valve by lightly depressing and turning the spring valve anti-clockwise 90 degrees, until it pops back into the original position.
6. Using the white strap, close the buckle and pull on the strap to tighten the package. This makes it easier when putting the board back into the bag.
