Intuitive and educational
To help you catch more waves, we work to make our products as intuitive and educational as possible.
That's why this bodyboard features carefully placed handles, so you can spontaneously get into the right position.
Pictograms on the underside of the bodyboard illustrate each key step in catching waves.
A QR code gives you access to tutorials and other useful information: maintenance, 2nd life, etc.
How to choose your bodyboard size?
Bodyboard size has a direct influence on stability and maneuverability. It must be adapted to the user's size. This bodyboard is designed for children and adults (between 25 and 90kg), i.e. over 8 years of age.
For use in supervised swimming areas only.
We design our products according to 4 levels of practice. This product is designed for "discoverers".
- Découvreur : Eau jusqu'au nombril, pas de palme, mousses <1m, propulsion en poussant les pieds sur le sol, prise de vague jusqu'au bord. Priorité au plaisir et 1ères sensations (Bodyboard à poignées).
- Débutant : Légers virages dans des vagues <1m, propulsion avec palmes. Priorité à l'apprentissage du sport.
- Confirmé : Vagues jusqu'à 1m50, plus de vitesse et début de figures (360°, El Rollo...).
- Expert : Tout type de vagues, maîtrise des figures, même aériennes : ARS, 360°, tube...
Directions for use
This bodyboard inflates by mouth. Do not inflate too hard, as an over-inflated bodyboard will not glide as well and could be damaged if exposed to high temperatures. During the gliding phase, this bodyboard is best used lying down. It's important to wear a long-sleeved anti-UV top or a neoprene suit to avoid chafing on the stomach and arms.
For greater comfort, make sure you push the valve into the bodyboard once it's inflated.
How to catch a wave with this product
Conçu pour attraper et glisser sur les mousses du bord de mer, ce produit s'utilise là où l'utilisateur a pied, avec de l'eau jusqu'au nombril. Au passage d'une petite mousse (<1m) l'utilisateur pousse sur ses pieds en direction de la plage et se met à plat ventre sur le bodyboard, mains sous les poignées qui attrapent l'avant du bodyboard, bras pliés et jambes tendues en arrière. Palmes inutiles. La texture du tissu permet un contact agréable avec la peau. L'application de wax est inutile.
Behavior and safety
WARNING: If this product is used by a child, it must be supervised by an adult. Particular care must be taken in windy and/or currenty conditions. Safety equipment such as buoyancy aids or armbands are strongly recommended. Not for use by children aged 3 and under. A leash can be added, purchased separately.
How do you keep your inflatable bodyboard in good condition?
To keep your bodyboard in good condition, we recommend:
- Do not jump with it in a swimming pool.
- Do not leave it inflated in direct sunlight or at temperatures >30°C (deflate it after use). Particularly in a car in direct sunlight.
- Before taking your bodyboard into the water, check that it is in good condition, that no welds or seams are damaged, that the valve is securely closed and that it will not deflate.
What to do if the bodyboard deflates?
It's normal for the air pressure in your bodyboard to change over the course of the day, or when you put it met in the water. In fact, any drop in temperature causes a drop in air pressure, so it's a good idea to re-inflate the board occasionally by mouth.
If, after re-inflation, the bodyboard loses pressure significantly during a session, this is not normal. If this happens, make sure the cap is properly closed.
What should I do if I notice air leaks or if the cap doesn't fit?
Particular care must be taken to use this product in the intended conditions. Any inappropriate use is to be avoided.
If, after normal use, the cap does not stay in place or air leaks can be observed in the bodyboard's welds, the warranty procedure will apply within the stipulated time (2 years).
What to do if the valve leaks?
If the valve leaks, this is usually due to the presence of sand, which simply needs to be removed.
To do this, partially deflate the bodyboard and allow it to dry (dry sand will be easier to remove than wet sand).
Use a pump to blow on the valve and blow away the sand grains by pressing the push-button (blowing into the mouth may work, but may moisten the sand).
In all cases, the cap must ensure a watertight seal.
Dimensions
Inflated: 80cm x 54cm x 11cm
